In one of the first collections of scholarship at the intersection
of LGBTQ studies and Appalachian studies, voices from the region;s
valleys, hollers, mountains, and campuses blend personal stories
with scholarly and creative examinations of living and surviving as
queers in Appalachia. The essayists collected are academics, social
workers, riot grrrl activists, teachers, students, practitioners,
scholars of divinity, and boundary-crossers, all imagining how to
make legible the unspeakable other of Appalachian queerness.
Focusing especially on disciplinary approaches from rhetoric and
composition, the volume explores sexual identities in rural places,
community and individual meaning-making among the Appalachian
diaspora, the storytelling infrastructure of queer Appalachia, and
the role of the metronormative in discourses of difference.
Storytelling in Queer Appalachia affirms queer people, fights for
visibility over erasure, seeks intersectional understanding, and
imagines radically embodied queer selves through social media.
