American Studies
From robber barons to titanic CEOs, from the labor unrest of the 1880s to the mass layoffs of the
1990s,
two American Gilded Ages-one in the early 1900s, another in the final years of the twenti¬
eth century-mirror each other in their laissez-faire excess and rampant social crises. Both eras have
ignited the civic passions of investigative writers who have drafted diagnostic blueprints for urgently
needed change. The compelling narratives of the muckrakers-Upton Sinclair, Ida
Tárbeli,
Lincoln
Steffens,
and Ray Stannard Baker among them-became best-sellers and prizewinners a hundred years
ago; today, Cecelia Tichi notes, they have found their worthy successors in writers such as Barbara
Ehrenreich, Eric Schlosser,
and Naomi Klein.
In Exposes and Excess Tichi explores the two Gilded Ages through the lens of their muckrakers. Drawing
from her considerable and wide-ranging work in American studies, Tichi details how the writers of the
first muckraking generation used fact-based narratives in magazines such as McClures to rouse the U.S.
public to civic action in an era of unbridled industrial capitalism and fear of the immigrant dangerous
classes. Offering a damning cultural analysis of the new Gilded Age, Tichi depicts a booming, insecure,
fortress America of bulked-up baby strollers, McMansion housing, and an obsession with money-as-life-
line in an era of deregulation, yawning income gaps, and idolatry of the market and its rock-star CEOs.
No one has captured this period of corrosive boom more acutely than the group of nonfiction writers
who burst on the scene in the late
1990s
with their
exposés
of the fast-food industry, the world of low-
wage work, inadequate health care, corporate branding, and the multibillion-dollar prison industry. And
nowhere have these authors
—Ehrenreich, Schlosser,
Klein, Laurie Garrett, and Joseph
Hallinan
—
revealed more about their emergence as writers and the connections between journalism and literary
narrative than in the rich and insightful interviews that round out the book.
With passion and wit,
Exposés
and Excess brings aliterary genre up to date at a moment when America
has gone back to the future.
Tichi makes it clear that she sometimes becomes depressed at the corruption and insensitivity raining
down from the top of US. society, including the White House, and would like to see more journalists
exposing problems. But despite legitimate reasons for concern, her book is largely an affirmation of eon-
temporary investigatieipurnalism. And that s good news.
