“…Working‐class identity is often treated as a clearly bounded, uniform status. With few exceptions (e.g., Beider, Harwood, & Chahal, ), attempts to define working‐class identity have hinged upon factors such as the self‐recognition of the group as an entity with agency or as a single basis for political action. The variegated nature of this identity is not often discussed.…”

As neighborhoods that were predominantly White become more racially and ethnically diverse, many Whites in those communities respond with feelings of threat and political shifts to the right. Trump's election in 2016 has often been attributed, at least in part, to such responses among members of the White working class. Building on this work, in the summer of 2017 (and thus after the election) we interviewed 77 working-class White residents of three majority-White cities from the Midwestern United States that had recently become more diverse due to an influx of Latino immigrants and/or an increase in native-born racial minorities. Respondents were asked about their class identity, perceptions of change in their communities, and their attitudes about immigration and racial minorities.

“…Cairn’s (2013) ethnographic study of how race, place, gender and class intersect in shaping rural youth’s subjectivity demonstrates how intersectionality-informed research can help fill this gap. Research on the buffering potential of youths’ intersecting identities will likely benefit from attending to qualitative research on working class culture and identity such as Beider, Harwood, and Chahal’s (2017) important fieldwork. While identifying and promoting resiliency factors is vital, intersectionality also draws attention to collective action as a form of “resistance” by “actors responding to (and not just passively receiving) experiences of oppression, inequality, and stigma” (Rosenthal, 2016, p.481).…”

This article aims to integrate theory and empirical findings about understanding and fostering the process of resilience and adaptation in children and families who live in poverty. In this article, we draw from multiple, somewhat distinct, scholarly streams to identify sources of protection, integrating across the literatures on stress and coping, psychophysiology, cultural identity development, and empowerment theory. Because living in poverty cuts across other dimensions of social differentiation and structural inequality, intersectionality theory frames our discussion of how to leverage poverty-affected youths' diverse experiences. We present a framework to guide intervention and research on resiliency promotion, describe the Building a Strong Identity and Coping Skills intervention stemming from the framework, and suggest possible avenues and next steps for both interventions and research.
