A few pages into the intro and I need to set it down for the deep breathing. There is a wealth of empirical evidence on how culture exacerbates poverty. The “culture of poverty” hasn‘t been discredited. A bunch of people who don‘t give a damn about us have attempted to make it taboo for political reasons. Talk about anti-intellectual! #HillbillyStudies

Starting this one today. Academic essays, so it will probably take me a while to finish. #HillbillyStudies

“As in the past, Appalachia was a way to signal a host of characteristics all at once: white, working-class, postindustrial, impoverished, bigoted, uneducated, and filled with resentment over so-called big government, but also reliant on public assistance programs like Medicaid and disability.” #HillbillyStudies
