Winner of the 1964 Pulitzer Prize in Nonfiction
Anti-Intellectualism in American Life is a book which throws light on many features of the American character. Its concern is not merely to portray the scorners of intellect in American life, but to say something about what the intellectual is, and can be, as a force in a democratic society.
"As Mr. Hofstadter unfolds the fascinating story, it is no crude battle of eggheads and fatheads. It is a rich, complex, shifting picture of the life of the mind in a society dominated by the ideal of practical success." —Robert Peel in the

Good luck selling this because the majority of the population is also functionally illiterate with reading and writing skills below high school level. Facts.

The audience for a book at that intersection would probably be around 17 people.

They're not illiterate, just too deep into covering up their severely buried insecurities with bravado to *ever* allow themselves to appear vulnerable by even *considering* allowing for the possibility they might be wrong about something.
If they're lacking in education, it's in the areas of human psychology and self-awareness.

Resistance is futile
A good read is "Tyranny of Merit" which I recommend to those wanting to understand where the populist movement is originating in the US and across the world. Basically they are pushing back on not fitting into the ridiculous meritocracy system where we don't respect the average human being. Even the Dalai Lama states that taking the dignity of common work from a person isn't a good thing.
Tldr push animals or people into a corner and they'll bite, whether its in their interest or not
