“And if you trace a flawed narrative about Appalachia back far enough, you’ll often find someone making a profit.”
Elizabeth Catte, What You Are Getting Wrong About Appalachia

“Using Appalachians to fill made-to-order constituencies, anchored by race, is a tired game. Social upheaval, from the Civil War to the civil rights movement, often triggered, and still does, a larger fascination with Appalachia. These projections do a disservice to both Appalachians and other economically and socially disadvantaged groups by pitting their concerns against on another instead of connecting them.”
Elizabeth Catte
