En Estados Unidos está creciendo el movimiento de liberación de las minorías y muy especial de las Afroamericanas, que está teniendo gran impacto en la vida política del país. Resultado de su creciente madurez, existe la percepción de elementos importantes de tal movimiento, de que es necesario aliarse con otros movimientos de liberación para poder actuar conjuntamente y conseguir una mayor transformación más profunda de la sociedad. Ello conlleva la necesidad de establecer espacios políticos de coalición que tengan elementos en común como la clase social. El modelo es el movimiento Arcoíris “Rainbow Coalition” fundado por Jesse Jackson, discípulo predilecto de Martin Luther King, que unió los distintos sectores de la clase trabajadora de aquel país perteneciente a distintos grupos sociales, políticos y culturales. Tal coalición casi ganó las primarias del partido demócrata de 1988.

 

This article published in Portside on August 8, 2023, by Vicente Navarro helps to clarify that the current dichotomy of race or class as the major focus for the development of progressive strategies for change has serious limitations, Jesse Jackson showed that all the discriminated and exploited sectors of the working population of the U.S. need, besides fighting for their liberation, to ally themselves in broader coalitions asking for profound changes that will benefit all of them. It is not, therefore, race or class but rather race and class. This is how the first call for Universal Health Program put forward by Jackson’s Rainbow Coalition almost became part of the Democratic Party platform of 1988 and that is also why, later on, the Clinton health care task force reforms of 1992 failed.

Professor Navarro suggests the reading of this article, published in the International Journal of Health Services, Volume 49.2, pp. 197-203, 2019. It analyzes critically the most recent scientific bibliography on the causes of the growth of mortality and morbidity in the white working class of the United States. The methodology used in these studies, and also the insufficient conceptualization of the variables used (such as social class), limits the understanding of the increment of the “diseases of despair” in that sector of the population. This article emphasizes the need to analyze the evolution of the social classes in the United States, and the political determinants that have changed not only the character and composition of that class, but also the power differentials between this class and other classes in the United States.
