Reference Materials – Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of Family and Culture in Crisis - Sep 14

.
This section contains book reviews from the New York Times, The Washington Post and The Wall Street Journal.

It also contains an article from the September issue of The Atlantic Magazine which deals with two books -- “White Trash: The 400-Year Untold History of Class in America” by Nancy Isenberg as well as “Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of Family and Culture in Crisis” by J.D. Vance.

Fortuitously, both “White Trash” and “Hillbilly Elegy” were proposed simultaneously as Reading Liberally topics by John Karls on 8/5/2016, with “Hillbilly Elegy” being voted at our Aug meeting as the focus for our Sep meeting.

However, both books bear on the same imbroglio and The Atlantic article offers a thoughtful analysis of both.
