New Book: "The Neglected Voter: White Men and the Democratic Dilemma"

THE NEGLECTED VOTER: White Men and the Democratic Dilemma

From the book site review:

'The White Male Gap, as Kuhn terms it, comes to explain not only why these workingmen “left the party they had once built,” but why they came to believe Democrats stand for everyone but white men. He tells the story of the effect of terms like “angry white male,” explaining that these men did not want to be viewed as victims but “were no longer comfortable being portrayed as the reason everyone else was a victim.” Kuhn tells of the effect on men as factory jobs are lost, as pensions wither, as families’ breakdown, as popular culture mocks regular guys as “dumb down dads,” while the same men are told they should feel powerful due to “white male privilege.” In telling the story of how those deemed powerful came to feel powerless, he weaves the reader through the political battles of our time.'
