Meanwhile, members of the professionalelite&#8213jornalists, managers, and establishmentpoliticians--are on the outside looking in, left to argue over thereasons. In White Working Class, Joan C. Williams, describedas having &quotsomthing approaching rock star status&quotbythe New York Times, explains why so much of the elite'sanalysis of the white working class is misguided, rooted inclass cluelessness.Williams explains that many people haveconflated &quotworing class&quotwith &quotpoo&quot-but theworking class is, in fact, the elusive, purportedly disappearingmiddle class. They often resent the poor and the professionalsalike. But they don't resent the truly rich, nor are theyparticularly bothered by income inequality. Their dream is notto join the upper middle class, with its different culture, but tostay true to their own values in their own communities--justwith more money. While white working-class motivations areoften dismissed as racist or xenophobic, Williams shows thatthey have their own class consciousness.White Working Classis a blunt, bracing narrative that sketches a nuanced portrait ofmillions of people who have proven to be a potent politicalforce. For anyone stunned by the rise of populist, nationalistmovements, wondering why so many would seemingly voteagainst their own economic interests, or simply feeling like astranger in their own country, White Working Class will be aconvincing primer on how to connect with a crucial set ofworkers--and voters.
