"It is really worth a read..." -- Former Vice President Joe Biden,
interviewed on Pod Save America Now in paperback with a new
Foreword by Mark Cuban and a new Preface by the author, White
Working Class explains why so much of the elite's analysis of the
white working class is misguided, rooted in class cluelessness.
Joan C. Williams, described as having "something approaching rock
star status" by the New York Times, explains that many people have
conflated "working class" with "poor"--but the working class is, in
fact, the elusive, purportedly disappearing middle class. They
often resent the poor and the professionals alike. But they don't
resent the truly rich, nor are they particularly bothered by income
inequality. Their dream is not to join the upper middle class, with
its different culture, but to stay true to their own values in
their own communities--just with more money. While white
working-class motivations are often dismissed as racist or
xenophobic, Williams shows that they have their own class
consciousness. White Working Class is a blunt, bracing narrative
that sketches a nuanced portrait of millions of people who have
proven to be a potent political force. For anyone stunned by the
rise of populist, nationalist movements, wondering why so many
would seemingly vote against their own economic interests, or
simply feeling like a stranger in their own country, White Working
Class will be a convincing primer on how to connect with a crucial
set of workers--and voters.
