Abstract
In the past year, I have utilized two series of games to teach a predominantly white classroom the barriers that race plays to labor organizing. Students play Prisoner’s Dilemma and Stag-Hunt games, without and with player inequality. Player inequality is designed to mirror power asymmetry in the abstract but also white supremacy specifically by mirroring scenarios in Noel Ignatiev’s posthumous memoir of his time at the Gary Works— Acceptable Men. Though players are predisposed to cooperation, inequality between players strains solidaristic play. This cooperation exceeds that found in Acceptable Men, and students are encouraged to reflect upon why this may be the case. JEL Classification: A22, J15, J51, Z13
