«White Trash» is the historical essay by Nancy Isenberg, published by Atlantic Books in paperback (496 pages, in English).
It covers 400 years of US history to show that the «white trash» have been a permanent class, from landless settlers to today's hillbillies. Isenberg analyses political rhetoric, popular literature and scientific theories, debunks the myth of a classless society and connects that poverty to the Civil War, eugenics and the New Deal.
The work was originally published in 2016 under the title «White Trash: The 400-Year Untold History of Class in America»; this edition appeared in November 2017.
For readers interested in the social and political history of the United States and in the analysis of inequality and class.
