About this product
Product Information
Years before Hillbilly Elegy and White Trash, a raucous, truth-telling look at the white working poor -- and why they have learned to hate liberalism. What it adds up to, he asserts, is an unacknowledged class war. By turns tender, incendiary, and seriously funny, this book is a call to arms for fellow progressives with little real understanding of "the great beery, NASCAR-loving, church-going, gun-owning America that has never set foot in a Starbucks." Deer Hunting with Jesus is Joe Bageant's report on what he learned when he moved back to his hometown of Winchester, Virginia. Like countless American small towns, it is fast becoming the bedrock of a permanent underclass. Two in five of the people in his old neighborhood do not have high school diplomas or health care. Alcohol, overeating, and Jesus are the preferred avenues of escape. He writes of: - His childhood friends who work at factory jobs that are constantly on the verge of being outsourced - The mortgage and credit card rackets that saddle the working poor with debt - The ubiquitous gun culture--and why the left doesn't get it - Scots Irish culture and how it played out in the young life of Lynddie England

Reviews
"Joe Bageant is a brilliant writer. He evokes working class America like no one else. The account of his revisit to his Virginia roots is sobering, poignant, and instructive." Howard Zinn, author of A People's History of the United States "This book is righteous, self-righteous, exhilarating, and aggravating. By God, it's a raging, hilarious, and profane love song to the great American redneck. As a blue state man with a red state childhood, I have been waiting for this book for years. We ignore its message at our peril." Sherman Alexie, author of Reservation Blues "This fine book sheds a devastating light on Bush & Co.'s notorious 'base,' i.e. America's white working class, whose members have been ravaged by the very party that purports to take their side. Meanwhile, the left has largely turned them out, or even laughed at their predicament. Of their degraded stateand, therefore, oursJoe Bageant writes like an avenging angel." Mark Crispin Miller, author of Fooled Again: The Real Case for Election Reform "Joe Bageant is the Sartre of Appalachia. His white-hot bourbon-fuelled prose shreds through the lies of our times like a weed-whacker in overdrive. Deer Hunting with Jesus is a deliciously vicious and wickedly funny chronicle of a thinking man's life in God's own backwoods." Jeffrey St. Clair, author of Grand Theft Pentagon and co-editor of CounterPunch "This recounting of lost livesof white have-nots in one of our most have-not stateshas the power of an old-time Scottish Border ballad. It is maddening and provocative that the true believers in 'American exceptionalism' and ersatz machismo side with those stepping all over them. Bagaent's writing is as lyrical as Nelson Algren's, and if there's a semblance of hope, it's that he catches on with new readers thanks to the alternative media." Studs Terkel " Deer Hunting with Jesus is one of those rare books that is colorful, depressing, hilarious, and biting all at the same time. Joe Bageant has given us a glimpse into the vicious class war that is too often ignored or hidden by those happily perpetrating this war." David Sirota, author of Hostile Takeover "Dead serious and damn funny ... Bageant writes with the ghosts of Hunter S. Thompson, Will Rogers, and Frank Zappa kibitzing over his shoulder ... Takes Thomas Frank's What's the Matter With Kansas, to the next level. " Mother Jones "Bageant mixes a reporter's keen analysis, a storyteller's color, and a native son's love of his roots in this absorbing dissection of America's working poor ... wise, tender, and acerbic." Booklist "Mixing folksy populism with the lacerating fury of Hunter S. Thompson, Bageant's bitingly funny report can at times make Michael Moore seem tame. While Hunting may leave you heartsick, it's hard to turn away." Entertainment Weekly "Informative, infuriating, terrifying, scintillating . . . Imagine a cross between Thomas Frank's What's the Matter with Kansas? , Hunter S. Thompson's booze-and-dope-fueled meditations on Nixon's political potency, and C. Wright Mills's understanding of the durability of the power elite." The American Prospect "Hilariously funny, very angry, and somewhat depressing . . . The one book I read in 2007 that I would like all of you to read." Atlanta Journal-Constitution From the Hardcover edition., "Joe Bageant is a brilliant writer.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
