{"product_id":"white-poverty-von-william-j-barber","title":"White Poverty","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen most Americans think of poverty, they imagine Black faces. As a teenager, Reverend William J Barber II recalls seeing Black mothers interviewed on television whenever there was a story on food stamps or unemployment; poverty, then as now, was depicted as an essentially Black problem. In a work that promises to have lasting repercussions, Barber-now a leading advocate for the rights of America's poor and the \"closest person we have to Dr King\" (Cornel West)-addresses white poverty as a hugely neglected subject that might just be the key to mitigating racism and bringing together the tens of millions working-class and impoverished whites with low-income Blacks. Recognising that angry social media posts have replaced food, education and housing as a \"salve\" for the white poor, Barber contends that the millions of America's lowest-income earners have much in common, and together with Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove, provides one of the most sympathetic and visionary approaches to endemic poverty in decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9781324094876\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow Exposing Myths about Race and Class Can Reconstruct American Democracy\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover - 9781324094876","offer_id":53611509809477,"sku":"9781324094876","price":22.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/dad97af1-7f9c-4312-a519-474ad63f9b4d.jpg?v=1774930698","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/white-poverty-von-william-j-barber","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
