Summary/Review: "In 2016 headlines declared Appalachia ground zero for America's "forgotten tribe" of white working-class voters. Following the presidential election, demystifying Appalachia and locating the roots of its dysfunction quickly seemed to become a national industry, shoring up the success of J.D. Vance's memoir Hillbilly Elegy and the author's rise to fame as the media's favorite working-class whisperer. With 'What You Are Getting Wrong About Appalachia, ' Elizabeth Catte offers a much-needed perspective on Appalachia, and a frank, ferocious assessment of America's recent fascination with the people and problems of the region summed up in shorthand as 'Trump Country'"--Back cover.
