HTML:<b>An antidote to bigotry and a “perfect primer for readers seeking factual, realistic portrayals of the rural and working-class experience” (<i>Los Angeles Times</i>).</b><br />  <br /> 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. <i>What You Are Getting Wrong About Appalachia</i> 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.<br />  <br /> “The most damning critique of <i>Hillbilly Elegy</i>.” —<i>New York Review of Books</i><br />  <br /> “Succeeds in providing a richer, more complex view.” —<i>Publishers Weekly</i><br />  <br /> “A necessary response to the bigotry against a much-maligned culture.” —Chris Offutt, award-winning author of <i>Code of the Hills</i>.
