    About this ebook

    The only collection of Joe Bageant’s essays available in book form, this compilation features 25 essays by the self-proclaimed redneck socialist. Exploring the plight of America’s white, “redneck” underclass—a topic considered taboo for the mainstream media—with insight, humor, compassion, and rage, this record is the result of the editorial freedom Bageant gained via the internet. Touching upon politics, current affairs, and sociology, the essays were selected for inclusion based on reader feedback, web-traffic counts, and suggestions from Bageant’s online colleagues.

    Author

    Joe Bageant

    Joe Bageant frequently appeared on US National Public Radio and the BBC, and wrote for newspapers and magazines internationally. He was a commentator on the politics of class in America, and Deer Hunting with Jesus was adapted for the theatre. He also wrote an online column (www.joebageant.com) that made him a cult hero among gonzo-journalism junkies and progressives. Joe’s second book, Rainbow Pie: a redneck memoir, was published by Scribe in the United States four days after he died in March 2011.
