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. In White Trash, Nancy Isenberg upends assumptions about America's supposedly class-free society. 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. 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. 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. 538 $a Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 $a Social classes $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Eugenics $z United States $x History. 651 0 $a United States $x Social policy. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 18th century. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 19th century. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 20th century. 700 1 $a Potter, Kirsten, $e narrator. 710 2 $a hoopla digital. 856 40 $u https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/11664435 $z Instantly available on hoopla. 856 42 $z Cover image $u https://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ttm_9781515925446_180.jpeg 941 $a 2 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006115714.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20161103012043.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3B6344EEA18B11E6AED112AEDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
