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.\r","brand":"Elizabeth Catte","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44442845184236,"sku":"9780998904146","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0684\/1791\/3068\/files\/9780998904146.jpg?v=1708840681","url":"https:\/\/intl.allstora.com\/products\/what-you-are-getting-wrong-about-appalachia","provider":"Allstora","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
