What happens when fossil fuels run out? How do communities and
cultures survive? Central Appalachia and South Wales were built to
extract coal, and faced with coal's decline, both regions have
experienced economic depression, labor unrest, and out-migration.
After Coal focuses on coalfield residents who chose not to leave,
but instead remained in their communities and worked to build a
diverse and sustainable economy. It tells the story of four decades
of exchange between two mining communities on opposite sides of the
Atlantic, and profiles individuals and organizations that are
undertaking the critical work of regeneration. The stories in this
book are told through interviews and photographs collected during
the making of After Coal, a documentary film produced by the Center
for Appalachian Studies at Appalachian State University and
directed by Tom Hansell. Considering resonances between Appalachia
and Wales in the realms of labor, environment, and movements for
social justice, the book approaches the transition from coal as an
opportunity for marginalized people around the world to work toward
safer and more egalitarian futures.
