Yes: changing the class dynamics driving American politics.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The far right manipulates class anger to undercut progressive goals and liberals often inadvertently play into their hands. In \u003ci\u003eOutclassed\u003c\/i\u003e, Joan C. Williams explains how to reverse that process by bridging the \"diploma divide\", while maintaining core progressive values. She offers college-educated Americans insights into how their values reflect their lives and their lives reflect their privilege. With illuminating stories --from the Portuguese admiral who led that country's COVID response to the lawyer who led the ACLU's gay marriage response (and more)-- Williams demonstrates how working-class values reflect working-class lives. Then she explains how the far right connects culturally with the working-class, deftly manipulating racism and masculine anxieties to deflect attention from the ways far-right policies produce the economic conditions disadvantaging the working-class. Whether you are a concerned citizen committed to saving democracy or a politician or social justice warrior in need of messaging advice, \u003ci\u003eOutclassed\u003c\/i\u003e offers concrete guidance on how liberals can forge a multi-racial cross-class coalition capable of delivering on progressive goals.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53504976224529,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781250368966.jpg?v=1778088630","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/books-out-classed-by-williams-j-c","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
