OTO
Anthony Harkins is an Assistant Professor in History at Western Kentucky University.
... a well-researched and richly illustrated tour of the hillbilly's life in the modern entertainments of music, film, television and newspaper comic pages. Scott Saul, Times Literary Supplement Hillbilly is written in a style that befits its subject matter: it is vivid but no-nonsense, delighting in a good yarn while appreciating the ironies that are often buried when a story runs in a too familiar groove and ends in a too predictable conclusion. Scott Saul, Times Literary Supplement Hillbilly is meticulous and slyly sophisticated - a clear-eyed case study of how the mass media in the US served up nostalgia in the most contemporary of forms.
