Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis by J.D. Vance is a poignant memoir that explores the struggles of growing up in a working-class Appalachian family. Vance reflects on his childhood in Kentucky and Ohio, delving into the complex cultural and socio-economic issues that define the “hillbilly” experience. The book discusses themes of poverty, addiction, and family dynamics, while also offering a personal account of how Vance escaped his circumstances by joining the Marine Corps and attending Yale Law School. Through this lens, Vance examines the broader decline of rural American communities, particularly those in the Rust Belt.
Hillbilly Elegy is both a personal narrative and a sociological analysis of the cultural divide in modern America.
