D. Vance's \u003ci\u003eHillbilly Elegy\u003c\/i\u003e. But these assessments have only given us a skewed portrait of a region that is actually marked by racial diversity, a storied labor history, and people who fall on all sides of the political spectrum. In \u003ci\u003eWhat You Are Getting Wrong About Appalachia\u003c\/i\u003e, Elizabeth Catte offers her clear-eyed and uncompromising assessment of America's historical tendency to stereotype Appalachia's people and problems. It's a frank and ferocious insider's perspective that will complicate and illuminate your ideas about one of America's most misunderstood regions.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eElizabeth Catte\u003c\/b\u003e is a writer and historian from East Tennessee.
