The Country Poor in the Great Depression

More about the book

The book examines the enduring impact of the Great Depression, focusing on how popular memory emphasizes rural experiences over urban hardships. Through detailed rhetorical analysis of various media, including fiction, journalism, and documentaries, it highlights iconic representations of impoverished rural whites, drawing on works by John Steinbeck, Dorothea Lange, and others. By exploring these narratives, the author reveals the complexities of collective memory and its implications for understanding the economic crisis in America's cities and factories.
