An antidote to bigotry and a "perfect primer for readers seeking factual, realistic portrayals of the rural and working-class experience" (
Los Angeles Times).
In 2016, headlines declared Appalachia ground zero for America's "forgotten tribe" of white working-class voters. Journalists flocked to the region to extract sympathetic profiles of families devastated by poverty, abandoned by establishment politics, and eager to consume cheap campaign promises.
What You Are Getting Wrong About Appalachia is a frank assessment of America's recent fascination with the people and problems of the region. The book analyzes trends in contemporary writing on Appalachia, presents a brief history of Appalachia with an eye toward unpacking stereotypes, and provides examples of writing, art, and policy created by Appalachians as opposed to for Appalachians-ultimately offering a much-needed insider's perspective on the region.
"The most damning critique of
Hillbilly Elegy." -
New York Review of Books
"Succeeds in providing a richer, more complex view." -
Publishers Weekly
"A necessary response to the bigotry against a much-maligned culture." -Chris Offutt, award-winning author of
Code of the Hills
