About This Item
New York: Viking, 2016. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. 8th Printing Hard cover in fine condition with cream boards and black spine lettering. Interior text block clean & tight; no writing, no markings noted. Dust jacket in likewise fine condition; not price clipped. * From the jacket flap, ""The wretched and landless poor have been a part of American culture from the time of the earliest British colonial settlement. In her ground-breaking history of the class system in America, Nancy Isenberg explodes our comforting myths about equality in the land of opportunity, uncovering the crucial legacy of the ever-present poor white trash. . . . Surveying political rhetoric and policy, popular literature, and scientific theories over four hundred years, Isenberg upends assumptions about America's supposedly class-free society - where liberty and hard work were meant to ensure real social mobility. . . . Marginalized as a class, white trash have always been near the center of major debates over the character of the American identity.""
