Culture, Class and Politics in Modern Appalachia takes stock of the
field of Appalachian studies as it explores issues still at the
center of its scholarship: culture, industrialization, the labor
movement, and twentieth-century economic and political failure and
their social impact. A new generation of scholars continues the
work of Appalachian studies' pioneers, exploring the diversity and
complexity of the region and its people. Labor migrations from
around the world transformed the region during its critical period
of economic growth. Collective struggles over occupational health
and safety, the environment, equal rights, and civil rights
challenged longstanding stereotypes. Investigations of political
and economic power and the role of social actors and social
movements in Appalachian history add to the foundational work that
demonstrates a dynamic and diverse region.
