Meanings
-
Of or pertaining to micropolitics.
Blacks may have invented and used the term poor white trash as an act of symbolic violence and micropolitical protest, but it was literate, middle-class and elite whites who invested its meaning with social power, granting it the powers of social stigma and prejudice and enforcing the discriminatory effects with regard to labor.
