Summary:

"This collection of essays focuses on ethnic diversity within the region and a sense of belonging in Appalachian fiction, poetry, and letters. It probes the work of such stalwart writers as Lee Smith and Ron Rash, Affrilachian authors Crystal Wilkinson and Frank X Walker, and representatives of the Eastern Band Cherokee. Rather than attempting to define "Appalachianess," this collection interrogates the diverse realities of the region and how writers respond to a sense of place in Appalachian culture"-- Provided by publisher.
