Textul de pe ultima copertă
"Andrew Manno presents a rigorous and compelling case for the profound relationship between poker and contemporary culture. Toxic Masculinity, Casino Capitalism, and America’s Favorite Card Game: The Poker Mindset argues that the practices and attitudes rewarded in poker are being adopted more broadly with troubling results. Building on the work of researchers like Christopher Paul and Anastasia Salter and Bridget Blodgett, this book is a vital interrogation of poker as cultural form and an essential contribution to game studies."
-- Carly A. Kocurek, author of Coin-Operated Americans: Rebooting Boyhood at the Video Game Arcade
“In the 1960s, the renowned sociologist Erving Goffman argued that casino gambling offered men an opportunity to break from the bureaucratized homogeneity of their daily routines and demonstrate character, courage, and composure in the face of risk. In Manno's troubling sequel to this story, the game of poker has risen to national prominence and serves as an arena in which anxious men working in a precarious economy can practice bullying, bluffing, and aggressive self-interest — the very values at stake in contemporary capitalism and the wider culture of toxic masculinity.”
--Natasha Schüll, author of Addiction by Design: Machine Gambling in Las Vegas
Poker is a centuries-old American game. Why has it become so popular in the twenty-first century? What does current interest in the game tell us about ourselves and some of our most pressing social issues? In this timely and thought-provoking book, Andrew Manno offers important insights into the intersection of gaming, gender, and capitalism that illuminate how the shift to a casino capitalist economy—combined with a culture of toxic masculinity—impacts workers and how it has led to the rise of populism in the United States that manifested in the 2016 election of Donald Trump.

Caracteristici
Examines poker as a gendered activity, and specifically how valued characteristics of orthodox masculinity are embedded in the rhetoric of the game, as well as in our larger culture Connects the rise in poker's popularity to the increase of inter-related social problems, such as toxic masculinity, the impact of casino capitalism, and post-industrial worker disenfranchisement Demonstrates how the Poker Mindset protects the status quo and reinforces orthodox masculine gender values, maintaining and exacerbating damaging systems of inequality
