Class, Identity, and Political Disillusionment
This chapter examines the critical role of class as it intersects with race, gender, and religion in today's political landscape, particularly in the context of disillusionment with government effectiveness. The discussion highlights the emotional disconnect between political messaging and the lived experiences of the working class, alongside an analysis of the impact of neoliberal policies and globalization. Through historical insights and personal anecdotes, the chapter emphasizes the need for a renewed focus on labor rights and the role of unions in advocating for workers' needs and empowerment.
