{"product_id":"book-jsnz","title":"Outclassed","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAn eye-opening, urgent call to mend the broken relationship between college and non-college grads of all races that is driving politics to the far right in the US.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eIs there a single change that could simultaneously protect democracy, spur progress on climate change, enact sane gun policies, and improve our response to the next pandemic? 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\u003e Outclassed\u003c\/i\u003e offers concrete guidance on how liberals can forge a multi-racial cross-class coalition capable of delivering on progressive goals.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eA Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin's Press.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Macmillan Audio","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49794665513264,"sku":"BDjsnz","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/jsnz-Square-cover.jpg?v=1778175071","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-jsnz","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
