From a teacher’s perspective- Very comprehensive! The author has done her research on the political, economic, and sociological factors that have contributed to the ‘birth’ of this ignominious moniker. Understanding the historical underpinnings of this long-practiced class discrimination (ie, poor whites) can aid both teachers and students in avoiding such gross over-generalizations in the future.

Excellent, well written, well researched. While she is clearly leftist - Isenburg's research (not necessarily her conclusions) seem objective. I haven't read a more iconoclastic book - since Professor Stephan's - " Hawaii Under The Rising Sun."
