A critical legal scholar uses feminist and environmental theory to
sketch alternate futures for Appalachia. Environmental law has
failed spectacularly to protect Appalachia from the ravages of
liberal capitalism, and from extractive industries in particular.
Remaking Appalachia chronicles such failures, but also puts forth
hopeful paths for truly radical change. Remaking Appalachia begins
with an account of how, over a century ago, laws governing
environmental and related issues proved fruitless against the
rising power of coal and other industries. Key legal regimes were,
in fact, explicitly developed to support favored industrial growth.
Aided by law, industry succeeded in maximizing profits not just
through profound exploitation of Appalachia's environment but also
through subordination along lines of class, gender, and race. After
chronicling such failures and those of liberal development
strategies in the region, Stump explores true system change beyond
law "reform." Ecofeminism and ecosocialism undergird this
discussion, which involves bottom-up approaches to transcending
capitalism that are coordinated from local to global scales.
