Is the white working class in the US being ignored?
Author Joan C Williams on White Working Class: Overcoming Class Cluelessness in America
The white working class in America are largely misunderstood by apparently 'elite liberal' policy makers according to the thesis of a new book by an American law professor Joan C Williams.
"The cultural elites tend to know a lot about the poor and immigrants but they tend to know very little about the white working class," says Professor Williams.
She claims that "equality for women, people of colour and gays" have overshadowed their needs in America.
