{"product_id":"book-ddag","title":"Lowest White Boy","description":"An innovative, hybrid work of literary nonfiction, \u003ci\u003eLowest White Boy\u003c\/i\u003e takes its title from Lyndon Johnson's observation during the civil rights era: \"\u003ci\u003eIf you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket.\u003c\/i\u003e\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGreg Bottoms writes about growing up white and working class in Tidewater, Virginia, during school desegregation in the 1970s. He offers brief stories that accumulate to reveal the everyday experience of living inside complex, systematic racism that is often invisible to economically and politically disenfranchised white southerners—people who have benefited from racism in material ways while being damaged by it, he suggests, psychologically and spiritually. Placing personal memories against a backdrop of social history and cultural critique, \u003ci\u003eLowest White Boy\u003c\/i\u003e explores normalized racial animus and reactionary white identity politics, particularly as these are collected and processed in the mind of a child.","brand":"Tantor","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49377897382192,"sku":"BDddag","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49377897447728,"sku":"ZEddag","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD","offer_id":49377897480496,"sku":"ZMddag","price":45.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/ddag-Square-cover.jpg?v=1779236593","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-ddag","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
