520    "Over the first two-thirds of the twentieth century, as 
       many as eight million whites left the economically 
       depressed southern countryside and migrated to the booming
       factory towns and cities of the industrial Midwest in 
       search of work. The "hillibilly highway" was one of the 
       largest internal relocations of poor and working people in
       American history, yet it has largely escaped close study 
       by historians. In Hillbilly Highway, Max Fraser recovers 
       the long-overlooked story of this massive demographic 
       event and reveals how it has profoundly influenced 
       American history and culture--from the modern industrial 
       labor movement and the postwar urban crisis to the rise of
       today's white working-class conservatives. The book draws 
       on a diverse range of sources--from government reports, 
       industry archives, and union records to novels, memoirs, 
       oral histories, and country music--to narrate the 
       distinctive class experience that unfolded across the 
       Transppalachian migration during these critical decades. 
       As the migration became a terrain of both social 
       advancement and marginalization, it knit together white 
       working-class communities across the Upper South and the 
       Midwest--bringing into being a new cultural region that 
       remains a contested battleground in American politics to 
       the present" --|cProvided by publisher.
