Synopsis
Culture maverick Jim Goad presents a thoroughly reasoned, darkly funny, and rampagingly angry defense of America's most maligned social group -- the cultural clan variously referred to as rednecks, hillbillies, white trash, crackers, and trailer trash. As The Redneck Manifesto boldly points out and brilliantly demonstrates, America's dirty little secret isn't racism but classism. While pouncing incessantly on racial themes, most major media are silent about America's widening class rifts, a problem that negatively affects more people of all colors than does racism. With an unmatched ability for rubbing salt in cultural wounds, Jim Goad deftly dismantles most popular American notions about race and culture and takes a sledgehammer to our delicate glass-blown popular conceptions of government, religion, media, and history., Culture maverick Jim Goad presents a thoroughly reasoned, darkly funny, and rampagingly angry defense of America's most maligned social group -- the cultural clan variously referred to as rednecks, hillbillies, white trash, crackers, and trailer trash.

    History of white slavery

    This is a good resource on the subject and history of white slavery. I had no idea. The author sites many references from his own research- like how Britain sent their convicts to America as well as Australia! We never hear about that in our history classes!!

    Controversial, Funny, and Entertaining

    Jim Goad is the evil Macolm Gladwell. Or maybe he's the streamlined, punk rock version of Charles Murray. A provocative, diligently researched social commentary that never fails to be darkly comic and compelling. Get your copy before its banned!
