“身份”是一个标签。一旦降生某个家庭、某个地区,你是乡下人,还是城里人?你是穷人,还是富人?你是底层、中层,还是上层?身份如影随形。终其一生,或能改变,而这改变的过程,通常是一曲悲歌。 对于J.D.万斯和他的家族,聊可欣慰,改变已经开始。这个1984年出生的乡下男孩...
评分Hillbilly Elegy是本很好看的书。底层白人有其独特的文化,但因为其在政经文化等方面的弱势,很少有发声的机会。本书作者J.D. Vance有幸成为“突围”的一员,因此获得了撰写书籍介绍自己阶层的机会。更难得的是,他写的让人觉得十分真实,这让我这样的读者几乎是第一次近距离了...

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER, NAMED BY THE TIMES AS ONE OF "6 BOOKS TO HELP UNDERSTAND TRUMP'S WIN"

From a former marine and Yale Law School graduate, a powerful account of growing up in a poor Rust Belt town that offers a broader, probing look at the struggles of America’s white working class
Hillbilly Elegy is a passionate and personal analysis of a culture in crisis—that of white working-class Americans. The decline of this group, a demographic of our country that has been slowly disintegrating over forty years, has been reported on with growing frequency and alarm, but has never before been written about as searingly from the inside. J. D. Vance tells the true story of what a social, regional, and class decline feels like when you were born with it hung around your neck.
The Vance family story begins hopefully in postwar America. J. D.’s grandparents were “dirt poor and in love,” and moved north from Kentucky’s Appalachia region to Ohio in the hopes of escaping the dreadful poverty around them. They raised a middle-class family, and eventually their grandchild (the author) would graduate from Yale Law School, a conventional marker of their success in achieving generational upward mobility.
But as the family saga of Hillbilly Elegy plays out, we learn that this is only the short, superficial version. Vance’s grandparents, aunt, uncle, sister, and, most of all, his mother, struggled profoundly with the demands of their new middle-class life, and were never able to fully escape the legacy of abuse, alcoholism, poverty, and trauma so characteristic of their part of America. Vance piercingly shows how he himself still carries around the demons of their chaotic family history.
A deeply moving memoir with its share of humor and vividly colorful figures, Hillbilly Elegy is the story of how upward mobility really feels. And it is an urgent and troubling meditation on the loss of the American dream for a large segment of this country.

评分通过自己努力,从草根阶层走到精英阶层,实现了自己的美国梦,貌似合情合理,不过只是万千底层白人中的幸运儿。
评分多年后,来自四川大凉山彝族自治州的王狗蛋,在党和国家的关心帮助下,通过春晖助学计划定向招生进入北大法学院,后以优异成绩毕业并顺利留京,在导师的鼓励下,狗蛋同学回首往事,百感交集,于是将家族历史、个人成长一并写就成这部新时代中国梦的注解 ——《凉山赞歌》 #Audible
评分美国人,特别是白人,所谓的生活凄惨,基本上都是自己作出来的...都活在Easy模式了还如此不争气
评分太流水账了。
