Hey guys! In today’s video, I decided to make a video essay about the theory of embourgeoisement and how this applies to the working class in our society! I break down what embourgeoisement is, I talk about what the working class is, I discuss the American dream, and I talk about how all these ties into intersectionality and critical race theory. I know that’s a lot but the topic really interested me so let me know what you think!
