Join 📚Jof’S Book Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Jophin's read, .
Politicians often speak of ‘white working-class people’ or ‘white working-class men’ in order to encourage such people to link their difficulties to whiteness and masculinity, rather than poverty. The aim is to funnel the discontent of white people into identities other than class and encourage them to see their whiteness as a promissory note for something better. An expedient but baseless solidarity between white men is encouraged, leaving poor white men with a sense of entitlement they can only ever possess incompletely. They can roam the streets without fear of racism or sexism – and that is no small thing – but it doesn’t fill their pockets or their stomachs.
