Poor or marginal whites occupy an uncharted space in recent
identity studies, particularly because they do not easily fit the
model of whiteness-as-power proposed by many multiculturalist or
minority discourses. Associated in mainstream culture with "trashy"
kitsch or dangerous pathologies rather than with the material
realities of economic life, poor whites are treated as degraded
caricatures rather than as real people living in conditions of
poverty and disempowerment. White Trash situates the study of poor
whites within the context of several academic disciplines,
public-policy analysis, and popular or mass-media representations.
Arguing that white racism is directed not only against people of
color but also against certain groups of whites, the contributors
to this volume explore the ways in which race and class in America
are often talked about and represented in hidden, coded, or
half-realized ways. In so doing, they demonstrate why the term
white trash itself embodies yet another way in which some whites
generate a debased "other" through pejorative naming practices.
