Appalachia Inside Out, Volume 2: Culture and Custom

by Robert J. Higgs, Jim Wayne Miller (Contributor), Ambrose N. Manning (Contributor)

The two volumes of Appalachia Inside Out constitute the most comprehensive anthology of writings on Appalachia ever assembled. Representing the work of approximately two hundred authors-fiction writers, poets, scholars in disciplines such as history, literary criticism, and sociology-Appalachia Inside Out reveals the fascinating diversity of the region and lays to rest many of the reductive stereotypes long associated with it.

Found this one when I was wandering around the Hickory library. I checked it out because I saw several of the writers anthologized here were people my good friend Sandy Ballard was always talking about. I don't know as much about Appalachia as I'd like, even though I've lived in a part of it for over half my life!

Good stuff!
Enjoyed this insightful and educational look at the region as we just relocated here.
