Don't Call Them Trailer Trash: The Illustrated Mobile Home Story | John Brunkowski, Michael Closen

1 post | 1 read | 1 to read

Although the phrase "trailer trash" is catchy and kitschy in describing mobile home living, this revealing peek into a stereotype that has dogged the mobile home since its earliest days challenges that label and defends the honor of the trailer home. Via nearly 400 colorful and fun images--including 300 postcards, home advertising, emblems, newspaper articles, memorabilia, and other items of interest--the novel point is made: the mobile home most assuredly deserves greater respect. Ten chapters explore features of mobile home living -- from the history, residential parks and amenities, and mobile mansions to interior and exterior designs, and the people who live in them. So, keep an open mind. You may come away with a new attitude about the mobile home.

Don't Call Them Trailer Trash: The Illustrated Mobile Home Story | John Brunkowski, Michael Closen

There is this perception that those who live in trailers are/can be “trash”. It‘s like assuming everyone who lives in the ghetto is a thug. It is just a stereotype. This book does a little diving into the history of trailers as homes. I like that it is done in infobits and full of many wonderful real life pictures. Plus, the cover pictures, totally reminds me of Ready Player One. Maybe after the new Spielberg movie, trailers will be hot again.
