cross-cutting cleavage is a concept that recognizes that most people have multiple interests and identities that affect their political views. A person who considers himself a "worker" doesn't necessarily define his political identity exclusively by this characteristic. He might instead also focus on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, the particular industry he works in, and so on. Some or all of these other identities might well play a greater role in determining his political orientation than his belonging to the "working class."
One major example of cross-cutting cleavages can be seen in rural America. Its working class whites whose tendency to side with the Republican Party on social values is cross-cut by their dislike of certain Republican economic policies.

Cross-cutting can give insight to whether or not a certain layer is older or younger than what is cross-cutting it. Say if a dike was cross-cutting layer A, then layer A is older than the dike.
Political scientists are interested in studying social cleavages such as race, class, gender, religion, and ethnicity. These cleavages represent divisions within society that can influence political behavior, attitudes, and outcomes. Understanding how these cleavages impact politics is essential for analyzing power dynamics and social relationships.
