Abstract
ABSTRACTThis essay discusses the various conceptualizations and political behavior of the white working class. Using Katherine J. Cramer's The Politics of Resentment: Rural Consciousness in Wisconsin and the Rise of Scott Walker and Justin Gest's The New Minority: White Working Class Politics in an Age of Immigration and Inequality, I critically engage literature on political behavior and class politics in light of declining class-based organizations. Overall, while pundits have pointed to a white working class with clear political preferences, definitions in empirical literature are often wide ranging, suggesting differences in expected behavior.
