While in the movies Hagrid was portrayed as being about 7ft tall, the man clumsily squeezing his way into the shack now was easily more than 11ft. If anything, the movies had seriously underplayed just how massive the friendly half-giant actually was. It was one thing to read about him in a book or to see him on your TV, but to see the man standing right in front of you was an entirely different experience. Though in your defense, there really wasn’t any other way to describe Hagrid. “Holy shit, he’s gigantic!” you thought somewhat stupidly. His face almost completely hidden by a long, shaggy mane of hair and a wild, tangled beard, but you could just about make out his eyes, which glinted like black beetles under all the hair. The door was hit with such force that it was cleaved clean off its hinges, and with a deafening crash, came slamming straight down onto the floor.Ī giant of a man was standing in the doorway.

Poor whites were central to the rise of the Republican Party in the early nineteenth century, and the Civil War itself was fought over class issues nearly as much as it was fought over slavery. Surveying political rhetoric and policy, popular literature and scientific theories over four hundred years, Isenberg upends assumptions about America’s supposedly class-free society––where liberty and hard work were meant to ensure real social mobility. ![]() They were alternately known as “waste people,” “offals,” “rubbish,” “lazy lubbers,” and “crackers.” By the 1850s, the downtrodden included so-called “clay eaters” and “sandhillers,” known for prematurely aged children distinguished by their yellowish skin, ragged clothing, and listless minds. The wretched and landless poor have existed from the time of the earliest British colonial settlement. In her groundbreaking history of the class system in America, extending from colonial times to the present, Nancy Isenberg takes on our comforting myths about equality, uncovering the crucial legacy of the ever-present, always embarrassing––if occasionally entertaining––"poor white trash." ![]() |
