Drawing deeply on the stories she heard in her early years, journalist Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz brings to life one of the least understood groups in US historypoor rural whites, who still cling to the dream of America as a republic of landowners. They are against abortion and for prayer in school; and some of them are members of the militia movement, allegedly behind the Oklahoma City bombing.
