Hillbilly Highway

In Hillbilly Highway, Max Fraser explores the significant yet often overlooked migration of millions of White Americans from the southern countryside to industrial cities in the Midwest during the twentieth century. Drawing on a wide array of sources, the book examines how this movement shaped American history, culture, and politics, creating a new regional identity and influencing key social and economic developments. It offers a nuanced look at the social dynamics and ongoing political relevance of this demographic shift.
