[Eller] has researched and written about this rural industrial region with passion, personal insight and a hope that is often lacking in work on Appalachia. Equally important, he insists that Appalachia is not a region apart, but rather that its dilemma is, in fact, increasingly America's dilemma. --Journal of Rural History --

<p> Uneven Ground is passionate, clear, concise, and at times profound. It represents in many ways the cumulative vision of decades of observation about, experience in, and research on Appalachia. Eller is astute to relate very early in the book how integral Appalachia was to the history of American development. --Chad Berry, author of Southern Migrants, Northern Exiles --

A former head of the Appalachia Center at the University of Kentucky, Ron Eller is one of the most distinguished acholars of his generation. This book, along with its predecessor, Miners, Millhands, and Mountaineers: The Modernization of the Mountain South 1880-1930 constitute the definitive history of the industrialization of Southern Appalachia. -- Appalachian Heritage -- Appalachian Heritage
