Laura McDermott’s Reviews > What You Are Getting Wrong about Appalachia > Status Update

Amazing book on the history of Appalachia, particularly it’s deep and radical roots in community organizing, labor unions, and liberation politics that has often been reduced and white-washed most aggressively since the 2016 election. Part 1 of this books discusses historical and political disenfranchisement that created Appalachian people as a scapegoat for Republican politics.
