This chapter helped me understand class not as a matter of money, but of power, identity, and inherited mindset. Through the “Waspish” framework, the author exposes how classism functions as an invisible architecture of domination that organizes society and normalizes inequality. I appreciated the author’s use of C. Wright Mills’ “sociological imagination” linking individual experience to structural realities. The argument that the poor internalize definitions created by their oppressors is haunting but true.
