I also like that this is a book that mostly holds up. Though being a minority who grew up and still lives here, I have a LOT of thoughts on the racism in Kansas angle. If you wanna get a good taste of where racial resentments were in the Kansas of my childhood, this documentary is very revealing

As a teen, I moved to SW KS from the South and immediately encounted so many brand new, never heard of, racist ideas directed at Mexicans. I thought at the time, "It's weird, but at least they don't hate seem to really hate black people."
Then Obama was elected. Oh, no.
