| This fine book sheds a devastating light on Bush & Co.''s notorious ''base, '' i.e. America''s white working class, whose members have been ravaged by the very party that purports to take their side--Mark Crispin Miller, author of "Fooled Again." |
|
From the Publisher:
A Web columnist describes his return to his hometown of Winchester, Virginia, and his discovery of the permanent underclass that exists in many American small towns, offering a revealing glimpse of the real lives of the invisible working class that exists in a world of taverns, churches, and double-wide trailers. Reprint. 20,000 first printing. |
Annotation:
Joe Bageant returns to his hometown of Winchester, Virginia, at the end of the 20th century and is outraged by how working-class Americans are duped by the Republican right, neglected by corporate America, and lost in their own misguided haze of fast food, beer, and God. Bageant writes with fondness about his roots, but also provides a savage and bitingly funny critique of how America has betrayed its blue-collar workers and how they have betrayed themselves.
