Description
A powerful account of growing up in a poor Rust Belt town, Hillbilly Elegy offers a broader look at the struggles of America's white working class. Born into a culture in crisis, J. D. Vance shares the true story of what a social, regional, and class decline feels like when you're born with it. The Vance family story begins hopefully in postwar America, but as the family saga unfolds, a more complex picture emerges. This book is a searing analysis of a culture in crisis, written from the inside. It's a personal and passionate exploration of the struggles of America's white working class, and a powerful exploration of the complexities of class, identity, and community.
