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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAutorenportrait\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eDescribed as \"legendary\" by \u003ci\u003eThe\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eNew Yorker \u003c\/i\u003eand as having \"something approaching rock star status\" by \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003cb\u003eJoan C.
