Description
White Working Class: Overcoming Class Cluelessness in America by Joan Williams. The analysis of white working-class movements around the world is often misguided, rooted in class cluelessness. Professor Joan C. Williams explains why this is the case, distinguishing between "working class" and "poor", and highlighting the complexities of the middle class's perceived disappearance. Williams shows that many people conflate these terms, but the working class has its own distinct consciousness, often resenting both the poor and professionals, yet not particularly bothered by income inequality. Their aspirations are to maintain their values in their communities with increased financial means. This book offers a nuanced portrait of millions of people who have proven to be a potent political force, providing insight into how to connect with this crucial set of workers and voters.
