D. Vance's \u003ci\u003eHillbilly Elegy\u003c\/i\u003e. But these assessments have only given us a skewed portrait of a region that is actually marked by racial diversity, a storied labor history, and people who fall on all sides of the political spectrum. In \u003ci\u003eWhat You Are Getting Wrong About Appalachia\u003c\/i\u003e, Elizabeth Catte offers her clear-eyed and uncompromising assessment of America's historical tendency to stereotype Appalachia's people and problems. It's a frank and ferocious insider's perspective that will complicate and illuminate your ideas about one of America's most misunderstood regions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Belt Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/06\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780998904146\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 146\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.20h x 5.00w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/23\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/27\/2018\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Elizabeth Catte","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44145916870837,"sku":"9780998904146","price":16.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_79f92bb5-6a06-4e1e-8766-60c150458e89.jpg?v=1715699147","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/what-you-are-getting-wrong-about-appalachia-9780998904146","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
