The Other America cover

Widely stereotyped as anti-immigrant, against civil-rights or supporters of Trump and the right, can the white working class of America really be reduced to a singular group with similar views? Based on extensive interviews across five cities at a crucial point in US history, this significant book showcases what the white working class think about many of the defining issues of the age - from race, identity and change to the crucial on-the-ground debates occurring at the time of the 2016 US election. As the 2020 presidential elections draw near, this is an invaluable insight into the complex views on Donald Trump and Hilary Clinton, and the extent and reach they have to engage in cross-racial connections.

"This timely book offers a window into the fears and sense of dislocation of white, working class Americans, while still offering hope for creating new cross-racial coalitions." * Susan J. Popkin, Urban Institute *
