Many books have been written about Appalachia, but few have voiced
its concerns with the warmth and directness of this one. From
hundreds of interviews gathered by the Appalachian Oral History
Project, editors Laurel Shackelford and Bill Weinberg have woven a
rich verbal tapestry that portrays the people and the region in all
their variety. The words on the page have the ring of truth, for
these are the people of Appalachia speaking for themselves. Here
they recollect an earlier time of isolation but of independence and
neighborliness. For a nearer time they tell of the great changes
that took place in Appalachia with the growth of coal mining and
railroads and the disruption of old ways. Persisting through the
years and sounding clearly in the interviews are the dignity of the
Appalachian people and their close ties with the land, despite the
exploitation and change they have endured. When first published,
Our Appalachia was widely praised. This new edition again makes
available an authentic source of social history for all those with
an interest in the region.
