Book review: Nancy Isenberg's 'White Trash' part II | National Catholic Reporter

Book review: Nancy Isenberg's 'White Trash' part II | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: Her treatment of land is interesting.  It almost sounds like something you would hear from the followers of Henry George.  The lack of religious treatment could have been easily remedied with a chapter on the Prosperity Gospel, whereby giving to the Church was to lead one to wealth and that wealth was a sign of favor from God.  Maybe this explains why today's white trash voters gravitate to Donald Trump, who was raised on the Prosperity Gospel teachings of Norman Vincent Peale.   Interestingly, it seems to be why some African American men like Trump toom as well as his condemnation of Mexicans - who have long been the new underclass.
