FEATURED PRODUCT White Working Class By Joan C. Williams Around the world, populist movements are rising among the working class, with the professional elite on the outside looking in, left to argue over the reasons. In White Working Class, Joan C. Williams explains why so much of the elite's analysis of the white working class is misguided, rooted in what she calls, class cluelessness. In this blunt, bracing narrative, Williams sketches a nuanced portrait of the people who have become a potent political force. For anyone stunned by the rise of nationalist movements, wondering why so many would seemingly vote against their own interests, or simply feeling like a stranger in their own country, White Working Class illuminates how to connect with this vital segment of the population.
