Hillbilly, una elegía rural es un relato apasionado y apasionante de una clase social en decadencia: la clase trabajadora blanca en Estados Unidos.\nEl libro del año en EE.UU. que nos permite entender los cambios sociales que han conllevado la victoria de Donald Trump.\nLos hillbillies, término peyorativo que hace referencia a los habitantes de la cordillera de los Apalaches, forman parte de este grupo social cada vez más empobrecido y radicalizado del país.\nJ. D. Vance cuenta la historia de unos habitantes que se han ido degradando lentamente durante más de cuarenta años y cuyo declive ejemplifica a la perfección su disfuncional familia. El resentimiento, la falta de ambición y una combinación letal de victimismo y pesimismo junto a una devoción por el país, una fervorosa fe en Dios y un desaforado sentido del honor han hecho que los hillbillies posean una tendencia a la violencia física y verbal, al alcoholismo y las drogas, se conformen con vivir de los subsidios del Gobierno y sean despreciados por sus compatriotas de ambas costas del país. Su respuesta a todo ello es conocida: encumbraron a Donald Trump a la presidencia de Estados Unidos.\nENGLISH DESCRIPTION\nHillbilly Elegy recounts J.D. Vance's powerful origin story...\nFrom a former marine and Yale Law School graduate now serving as a U.S. Senator from Ohio and the Republican Vice Presidential candidate for the 2024 election, an incisive account of growing up in a poor Rust Belt town that offers a broader, probing look at the struggles of America's white working class.\nTHE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER\n\"\"You will not read a more important book about America this year.\"\"—The Economist\n\"\"A riveting book.\"\"—The Wall Street Journal\n\"\"Essential reading.\"\"—David Brooks, New York Times\nHillbilly Elegy is a passionate and personal analysis of a culture in crisis—that of white working-class Americans. The disintegration of this group, a process that has been slowly occurring now for more than forty years, has been reported with growing frequency and alarm, but has never before been written about as searingly from the inside. J. D. Vance tells the true story of what a social, regional, and class decline feels like when you were born with it hung around your neck.\nThe Vance family story begins hopefully in postwar America. J. D.'s grandparents were \"\"dirt poor and in love,\"\" and moved north from Kentucky's Appalachia region to Ohio in the hopes of escaping the dreadful poverty around them. They raised a middle-class family, and eventually one of their grandchildren would graduate from Yale Law School, a conventional marker of success in achieving generational upward mobility. But as the family saga of Hillbilly Elegy plays out, we learn that J.D.'s grandparents, aunt, uncle, and, most of all, his mother struggled profoundly with the demands of their new middle-class life, never fully escaping the legacy of abuse, alcoholism, poverty, and trauma so characteristic of their part of America. With piercing honesty, Vance shows how he himself still carries around the demons of his chaotic family history.\nA deeply moving memoir, with its share of humor and vividly colorful figures, Hillbilly Elegy is the story of how upward mobility really feels. And it is an urgent and troubling meditation onthe loss of the American dream for a large segment of this country.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 6073920857\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.6073920857.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Vance, J.
