How does intersectionality play in here? Have the advantage of being white, yet the disadvantage of being poor. I like how the author describes that there are basically 2 or 8 different Americas based on how your identity intersects on all aspects of race, education, gender, SES, etc. I also like how the author talks about how class is forgotten as a large predictor of one's treatment in society and how the history of poor people in this country (indentured servants, couldn't vote or own land, seen as unclean and on drugs, etc.) is brushed under the rug. While race no doubt factors into discrimination, class doesn't deserve to go as unnoticed as it does.
