Do you know America's underclass?

On the next Your Call, we'll have a conversation with Joe Bageant, author of Rainbow Pie: A Redneck Memoir. Through personal accounts, he argues that after WWII millions of rural Americans moved into the cities, where they became the foundation of a permanent white underclass. Who are the underclass in today's America? Join us live at 11 or send us an email at feedback@yourcallradio.org. And what role do they play in U.S. political landscape? It's Your Call, with Rose Aguilar and you?

Guest:
Joe Bageant, author and political commentator. Bageant spends much of each year in Belize, Central America, and in Jalisco, Mexico, where he writes, and in which he sponsors small health-and-shelter development projects.
