"This is one of the most intellectually stimulating books I have read in a long time."--Benita Wolters-Fredlund"Notes" (06/01/2015)Rednecks, Queers, and Country Music is an intellectual tour de force that offers a nuanced exploration of the ways that white middle-class attitudes toward country music and white working-class modes of discourse have led to the marginalization of the white working class in political and cultural discourse.--Travis Stimeling "Journal of the Society for American Music """Rednecks, Queers, and Country Music"" is a far-ranging, multi-layered analysis, full of provocative insights, packaged in crisp, engaging prose"--John Hayes"Agricultural History" (09/01/2015)"Rednecks, Queers, and Country Music" is a far-ranging, multi-layered analysis, full of provocative insights, packaged in crisp, engaging prose"--John Hayes"Agricultural History" (09/01/2015)
presenting a great deal of evidence suggesting that working class America is Sarah Peller "Rednecks" is musical history that tells the story of the cultural creation of the powerful American middle class (the "narrating" class) using the concept of taste, detailing how although the middle class has become musically omnivorous of late, distaste for country music in particular defines this cultural group against its nemesis-reflection-- the white working class.
