As one book, Appalachian Odyssey, notes about the influx of hill people to Detroit: β€œIt was not simply that the Appalachian migrants, as rural strangers β€˜out of place’ in the city, were upsetting to Midwestern, urban whites. Rather, these migrants disrupted a broad set of assumptions held by northern whites about how white people appeared, spoke, and behaved . . . the disturbing aspect of hillbillies was their racialness. Ostensibly, they were of the same racial order (whites) as those who dominated economic, political, and social power in local and national arenas. But hillbillies shared many regional characteristics with the southern blacks arriving in Detroit.”10

When Peretti got flak for relying so heavily on this dumbed-down form of publishing, he zealously defended the practice. β€œLists are an amazing way to consume media,” he wrote in a public memo. β€œThey work for content as varied as the 10 Commandments [and] the Bill of Rights.” Another BuzzFeed editor claimed that lists worked for Homer. β€œYou could call that [book, The Odyssey,] 24 Chapters about Odysseus. That’s, like, a really great list. Really top notch. Really, really viral. Super viral.
