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.
