The narrative explores the significant migration of eight million whites from the Southern countryside to the industrial Midwest during the early to mid-20th century, known as the "hillbilly highway." This demographic shift, largely overlooked by historians, shaped various aspects of American history and culture, including labor movements and political dynamics. Utilizing diverse sources like government reports and oral histories, the author examines the unique experiences of these communities, highlighting their social advancement and marginalization, and the lasting impact on contemporary American society.
