White Trash: The 400-Year History of Class in America

Listener Seth Peterson recommends the book *White Trash* by Nancy Eisenberg, which details how the British elite viewed poor settlers in the Americas as "waste" or a "subspecies." The book explores the history of the "mud-eaters" and how class-based eugenics existed long before modern racial theories. The hosts note that this source is already slated for a future deep dive on the show.
