White Trash: The 400-Year Untold History of Class in America

byNancy Isenberg

Focused on the 400-Year Untold History of Class in America, White Trash brings Nancy Isenberg's historical account to a complex and consequential subject. The book builds its explanation through key episodes, competing interests, and the setting supplied by the connected fields of history and social science. Rather than isolating its subject, the book shows how private experience and public systems continually influenced one another. Readers finish with a sharper understanding of the subject and why its consequences still deserve attention.
