Theory and practice in Appalachia: 16 essays,
By A Customer
This review is from: Fighting Back in Appalachia: Traditions of Resistance and Change (Paperback)
Fisher presents a wonderful array of perspectives on grassroots resistance to unwelcome change in the Appalachian region. The authors in this volume portray social struggles for justice is several contexts: dealing with class and labor rights, environmental justice, health and industrial development, and gender/ethnic identity. Weaving together first person narratives of resistance, scholarly accounts of political economy, and sensitive consideration of contemporary theoretical concepts, Fighting Back in Appalachia is a wonderful introduction into the political activism of Appalachia, and more generally, a great portrait of alternative democratic ideals at work on the American landscape. I highly recommed this book for its content and readability.
