Homo Redneckus: On Being Not Qwhite In America

by William Matthew McCarter

Overview

Homo Redneckus is a critical reflection on the cultural experience of being a different type of "other" in America — specifically, a redneck, white-trash, hillbilly cracker. An academic treatise and a good story at the same time, the book traces the plight of those who are "Not Qwhite" through history, popular culture, and personal experience.
