White working class : overcoming class cluelessness in America / Joan C. Williams. --
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Why talk about class? Who is the working class? Why does the working class resent the poor? Why does the working class resent professionals but admire the rich? Why doesn't the working class just move to where the jobs are? Why doesn't the working class get with it and go to college? Why don't they just push their kids harder to succeed? Is the working class just racist? Is the working class just sexist? Don't they understand that manufacturing jobs aren't coming back? Why don't working-class men just take "pink-collar" jobs? Why don't the people who benefit most from government help seem to appreciate it? Can liberals embrace the white working class without abandoning important values and allies? Why are Democrats worse at connecting with the white working class than Republicans?
