Reviews

This important collection of essays represents the first comprehensive and critical evaluation of the scholarly enterprise of Appalachian Studies. Full of much knowledge, wisdom, and insight, it critically evaluates the field's successes, missteps, roads not taken, and important compass points for future direction while also viewing Appalachian Studies in relation to other studies programs as well as changes in higher education over the past three or four decades. Additionally, the essays will serve as excellent portals for new readers wanting to learn more about the academic study of the region. --Dwight B. Billings, coauthor of The Road to Poverty
