And as Tamara Draut makes abundantly clear, it is just now waking up to its untapped political power. \u003ci\u003eSleeping Giant\u003c\/i\u003e is the first major examination of the new working class and the role it will play in our economic and political future. Blending moving individual narratives, historical background, and sophisticated analysis, Draut forcefully argues that this newly energized class is far along in the process of changing America for the better. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDraut examines the legacy of exclusion based on race and gender that contributes to the invisibility of the new working class, despite their entwinement in everyone's day-to-day life. No longer confined to the assembly line, today's working class watches our children and cares for our parents. They park our cars, screen our luggage, clean our offices, and cook and serve our meals. They are us. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith \"Fight for $15\" minimum-wage protests popping up throughout the country (and in some places winning) and economic inequality being recognized as one of the defining issues of our time, today's working class will soon become impossible to ignore and foolish to dismiss. \u003ci\u003eSleeping Giant \u003c\/i\u003eis the first book to tell the story of this extraordinary transformation in full and inspiring detail.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tamara Draut\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 110187306X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781101873069\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Knopf Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/17\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.20w x 0.70d","brand":"Tamara Draut","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48443975893247,"sku":"9781101873069","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_534d5cf6-3951-41da-949e-7d17c33e6055.jpg?v=1777209152","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sleeping-giant-tamara-draut-9781101873069","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
