The Liberal Redneck Manifesto

Draggin' Dixie Outta the Dark

Narrated by: Trae Crowder, Drew Morgan, Corey Ryan Forrester

The Liberal Rednecks—a Southern-based stand-up comedy group known for their scathing political satire—celebrate all that’s good about Dixie while leading a progressive revolution toward a New South.

The American South is home to some of the best music, cuisine, athletics, whiskey, and weather the country has to offer, but its reputation as a haven for its “right-wing, Bible-beatin’, assault-rifle-totin’” citizens precedes it—and, according to the Liberal Rednecks, rightfully so. Yet, as they explain it, the situation in the South is far more complex than “hypocritical, nose-up-in-the-air Yankees” give it credit for. And they should know—they are native sons.

Whip-smart, hilarious, and incisive, the Liberal Rednecks are lifelong, down-home Southern boys who aren’t afraid to call out the outdated traditions and intolerant attitudes of their native land—while also shining a proud light on the most misunderstood region of the country. Their mission: to provide a manifesto for young progressives south of the Mason-Dixon line to rise up and claim their homeland—without abandoning the best of their culture.

Exploring race, class, guns, religion, drug addiction, alcoholism, and homophobia, the Liberal Rednecks tell it like it is while challenging stereotypes at every turn. Fresh, funny, and surprising, The Liberal Redneck Manifesto gives us a vision of Dixieland as it exists now—and what it could become.

Spot On

What made the experience of listening to The Liberal Redneck Manifesto the most enjoyable?

These guys nailed it. It was funny, and downright hilarious in places. But it was also thought provoking and well researched. The history and social commentary is actually what makes this book worth checking out. The humor--and there is quite a lot of it--is just icing on the cake.

Could use a few more like this

This audiobook, read by the comedians themselves, was funny, intelligent, and surprisingly informative. Trae jokes about saving some stuff for the memior... I'd read it.

Must Read!

If you are from the South, specifically Appalachia and have found yourself an "outcast" among many of your peers and family members- READ THIS BOOK! There is so much truth about Appalachian culture and the challenges/history of the region and its people. I promise you will relate to it and you won't regret it. This book hit home, hard with some unexpected tears along the way, woven into the hilarity of the truths.

More awesome than expected

This is a great educational handbook on how to understand & get along with people that come from a different background. Very enlightening & extremely intelligent. Well spoken with great accents. Love, love, love.

Finally!!!

Ya’ll are using to much common sense. You know that’s not allowed. /S.

It’s nice to hear reason with those accents, uncommon in my area.
