Book description
After thirty years living a hippiesque life as a progressive journalist, Joe Bageant returns to his Virgina hometown to examine why, among other things, the growing America underclass in the "Red states" continue to vote for political entities directly against their best interests. It is an honest, brutal, historical and tender reporting of his explorations. (galpalval)

Book descriptions

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0307339378, Paperback)

A raucous, truth-telling look at the white working poor-and why they hate liberalism.

Deer Hunting with Jesus is web columnist Joe Bageant’s report on what he learned when he moved back to his hometown of Winchester, Virginia, which-like countless American small towns-is fast becoming the bedrock of a permanent underclass. By turns brutal, tender, incendiary, and seriously funny, this book is a call to arms for fellow progressives with little real understanding of "the great beery, NASCAR-loving, church-going, gun-owning America that has never set foot in a Starbucks."
