Redneck Jews are rural American working class Jews, both born and gerim (converts).[1][2]
Etymology
[edit]Redneck is a term that denotes a rural, working class, Southern white. It gained popularity in the 1930s.[3]
History
[edit]Despite the stereotype of American Jews living in primarily urban environments and occupying white collar professions, there exists an extensive rural working class Jewish history in the United States.[4]
Jews have inhabited the backcountry of the United States since the colonial period.[5]
Many Jews, alongside a variety of other ethnic communities, served as coal miners in Appalachia.[6]
