Summary "Every day across the U.S., 66 million poor white people pay the price for failing whiteness. In this sweeping debut, activist and chaplain Cedar Monroe introduces us to the poor and unhoused of a small town in Washington, who grapple with desperation, a collapsing economy, and their own racism. Trash asks us to see anew the peril in which poor white people live. Can those deemed "trash" join the resistance to the system that is killing us all?"-- Provided by publisher.
