#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER, NAMED BY THE TIMES AS ONE OF "6 BOOKS TO HELP UNDERSTAND TRUMP'S WIN"

"You will not read a more important book about America this year."—The Economist

"A riveting book."—The Wall Street Journal

"Essential reading."—David Brooks, New York Times

From a former marine and Yale Law School graduate, a powerful 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

Hillbilly Elegy is a passionate and personal analysis of a culture in crisis—that of white working-class Americans. The decline of this group, a demographic of our country that has been slowly disintegrating over forty years, has been reported on 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.

The 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 their grandchild (the author) would graduate from Yale Law School, a conventional marker of their success in achieving generational upward mobility.

But as the family saga of Hillbilly Elegy plays out, we learn that this is only the short, superficial version. Vance’s grandparents, aunt, uncle, sister, and, most of all, his mother, struggled profoundly with the demands of their new middle-class life, and were never able to fully escape the legacy of abuse, alcoholism, poverty, and trauma so characteristic of their part of America. Vance piercingly shows how he himself still carries around the demons of their chaotic family history.

A 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 on the loss of the American dream for a large segment of this country.

读后感

Hillbilly Elegy是本很好看的书。底层白人有其独特的文化,但因为其在政经文化等方面的弱势,很少有发声的机会。本书作者J.D. Vance有幸成为“突围”的一员,因此获得了撰写书籍介绍自己阶层的机会。更难得的是,他写的让人觉得十分真实,这让我这样的读者几乎是第一次近距离了...

第一次读关于美国底层人的生活故事。从小我都认为美国没有穷人,都像电视里演的一样,电灯、电话、楼上、楼下,这都是影视作品给我带来的错觉。当我还每天拿馒头充饥时,则十分羡慕美国小朋友手拿汉堡或者三明治那吃腻了的表情,后来长大了我才知道,在美国吃炸鸡、吃汉堡跟国...

罗曼·罗兰曾经说过,从来没有人为了读书而读书,人们只是在书中读自己、发现自己和检查自己。这话就回忆录的写作来说也是适合的,特别是在作者在书中检视自己成长经历和童年创伤的片段,不可避免地带来主观的臆测和偏见,但这种书写角度恰恰给予我们一个难得的观察路径,一方...

The latest liberals' obsession. I appreciate the sociological observation part of the book, but disagree with Vance's conclusion. 作者本身还是受到了GI Bill, Pell Grant, need-based financial aid的帮助,虽说不是严格意义上的政府支持。把成败完全归于个人意愿有点太幼稚了。

多年后,来自四川大凉山彝族自治州的王狗蛋,在党和国家的关心帮助下,通过春晖助学计划定向招生进入北大法学院,后以优异成绩毕业并顺利留京,在导师的鼓励下,狗蛋同学回首往事,百感交集,于是将家族历史、个人成长一并写就成这部新时代中国梦的注解 ——《凉山赞歌》 #Audible

评分

整本书感觉像是长长的PS。虽然说不上社会学研究,但是底层白人的亲身经历能够在他现在的高度写成书,并且保留了很多祖辈的口述历史,难能可贵。只是白人突然像少数族裔一样写自己多么多么地惨还是有点不习惯。
