The "hillibilly highway" was one of the largest internal relocations of poor and working people in American history, yet it has largely escaped close study by historians. In Hillbilly Highway, Max Fraser recovers the long-overlooked story of this massive demographic event and reveals how it has profoundly influenced American history and culture--from the modern industrial labor movement and the postwar urban crisis to the rise of today's white working-class conservatives. The book draws on a diverse range of sources--from government reports, industry archives, and union records to novels, memoirs, oral histories, and country music--to narrate the distinctive class experience that unfolded across the Transppalachian migration during these critical decades. As the migration became a terrain of both social advancement and marginalization, it knit together white working-class communities across the Upper South and the Midwest--bringing into being a new cultural region that remains a contested battleground in American politics to the present" -- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Labor mobility $z Middle West $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Rural-urban migration $z Appalachian Region, Southern $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Migration, Internal $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Appalachians (People) $x History $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Appalachians (People) $x History $z Middle West $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Working class white people $x Social conditions $y 20th century. 651 0 $a United States $x Population. 941 $a 1 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20240127012643.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EB4BD9D8BCE111EEA22CC97A4BECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWPInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
