Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Exploring the nuanced representation of Appalachia in cinema, the book delves into around two dozen films that challenge stereotypes of the region's inhabitants. John C. Inscoe highlights how these films, rooted in both literary and historical contexts, offer deeper insights into the lives of Appalachian people, presenting them as complex characters shaped by their environments. Through a mix of documented realities and creative interpretations, the narratives foster a more sympathetic understanding of the region's rich history and cultural identity.
