White Trash: The 400-Year Untold History of Class in America - Nancy Isenberg Audiobook
Shared by:daenigma100
In her groundbreaking history of the class system in America, extending from colonial times to the present, Nancy Isenberg takes on our comforting myths about equality, uncovering the crucial legacy of the ever-present, always embarrassing––if occasionally entertaining––poor white trash
The wretched and landless poor have existed from the time of the earliest British colonial settlement. They were alternately known as “waste people,” “offals,” “rubbish,” “lazy lubbers,” and “crackers.” By the 1850s, the downtrodden included so-called “clay eaters” and “sandhillers,” known for prematurely aged children distinguished by their yellowish skin, ragged clothing, and listless minds.
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. Poor whites were central to the rise of the Republican Party in the early nineteenth century, and the Civil War itself was fought over class issues nearly as much as it was fought over slavery. Reconstruction pitted poor white trash against newly freed slaves, which factored in the rise of eugenics–-a widely popular movement embraced by Theodore Roosevelt that targeted poor whites for sterilization. These poor were at the heart of New Deal reforms and LBJ’s Great Society; they haunt us in reality TV shows like Here Comes Honey Boo Boo and Duck Dynasty. Marginalized as a class, white trash have always been at or near the center of major political debates over the character of the American identity.
We acknowledge racial injustice as an ugly stain on our nation’s history. With Isenberg’s landmark book, we will have to face the truth about the enduring, malevolent nature of class as well.

This book make known a lot of trash including the white paper on which it has been printed; ergo, unpalatable tendentious reasoning.

The person who wrote this is not white, but a member of the tribe

Marcodiluce, whatever you feel about the book, this isn’t a forum for reviews and it’s not very gracious to dismiss a member’s upload, which represents work they did for free on our behalf.
There are many books on this website that I don’t like — there are entire genres — but I appreciate the effort, nevertheless.

I think anyone has the right to speak an opinion.
Amy, are you this website’s thought police?
Ok. He/she does not like the book. So what? Get over it.
Personally, I will ask the un-politically correct question: “what can be said on the subject of Race and Class in America that hasn’t already been said?”

Excellent Book! Thank you for uploading.

The Duck Dynasty family were self-made millionaires before they were even on tv so why are they being mentioned in the description?

@marcodiluce
I find your unsolicited review “shallow and pedantic” in the highest degree of Oswald Bates’ school of thought, vis-à-vis, the capitulation of Strasserism in socioeconomic perspectives.
