    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Carolina Digital Repository WHERE MOVEMENTS MEET: FROM THE WAR ON POVERTY TO GRASSROOTS FEMINISM IN THE APPALACHIAN SOUTH Jessica Wilkerson A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a degree of doctor of philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2014 Approved by: Jacquelyn Dowd Hall Laura Edwards James L. Leloudis Nancy MacLean Zaragosa Vargas ©2014 Jessica Wilkerson ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Jessica Wilkerson: Where Movements Meet: From the War on Poverty to Grassroots Feminism in the Appalachian South (Under the direction of Jacquelyn Dowd Hall) This dissertation traces the alliances forged and the grassroots movements led by women in the Appalachian South in the 1960s and 1970s, with a focus on eastern Kentucky. With a wide variety of sources, including oral history interviews, archival film footage, memorabilia, local and underground publications, and manuscript collections, it shows how women shaped the federal War on Poverty in Appalachia and then used the skills they learned in antipoverty programs to foster social justice activism that continued in the 1970s and beyond. Women in Appalachia, who have seldom been seen as actors in the movements of the 1960s, were key leaders and foot soldiers in what contemporaries called the Appalachian Movement, which intersected with civil rights organizations and had its roots in the War on Poverty. Rural, poor and working-class women helped to shape debates about welfare rights, women’s rights, and labor justice in the 1960s and 1970s, connecting white and black women, insiders and outsiders, to form a robust, interracial, intergenerational, and region-wide movement.

Corriher 2012 All Rights Reserved Abstract AN AUTOETHNOGRAPHIC CURRICULUM FOR APPALACHIAN STUDIES: MERGING HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCE THEORIES AND METHODS Donna T. Corriher, B.A., Appalachian State University M.A., Appalachian State University Chairperson: Eugenia Cecelia Conway This thesis is a curriculum for the interdisciplinary field of Appalachian Studies using writing and an autoethnographic method. This method empowers students as it allows them to choose their own topics for research, encourages student exploration of the cultural environment of Appalachia as related to or compared with their own, and places the classroom in the hands of the students. The design of the curriculum and the autoethnographic method can be applied to other regional studies and to other disciplines. Combining autoethnography and teaching reveals the ways these underpinnings of the curriculum support personal invention in the classroom. This combination of autoethnography and Appalachia is innovative and new. Several researchers use other related methods like participant observer that contribute to our understanding of autoethnography.

  • The Uses and Misuses of Appalachian Culture
    The Uses and Misuses of Appalachian Culture By Phillip J. Obermiller and Michael E. Maloney Urban Appalachian Council Working Paper No. 20 May, 2011 “…a widespread discontent has developed with the use of ‘culture’ as it, like most words of fashion, has become an all-embracing term that pleads immunity to doubt.” J. A. Sorenson in The Concept of Culture The Cincinnati Enquirer recently ran a photographic spread on University of Cincinnati students spending their spring break in Eastern Kentucky. The subhead reads “Cultural appreciation course takes students to meet those in need,” and the brief five-paragraph story has three more references to Appalachian “culture”. The eight photographs show students helping people too poor or physically limited to maintain their own homes. Nowhere in the text is this “culture” defined but the inference is that an Appalachian “culture” exists, and it is one of inability, dependence, and need. 1:B2 It is easy to point out that both the university and the local media have bought into the stereotype of a culture of poverty pervading the entire region.2 However, the next logical question is to ask the source of that stereotype – where did it originate? This is where urban Appalachian leaders, activists, and scholars have to step up and take responsibility for their own misuse of the concept of culture. The careless use of slogans by the media or even well-intentioned people working for social change creates an illusion that we know what we are talking about. Terms like “culture,” “cultural competence,” and “multiculturalism” are often used to express sincere intentions that are inclusive and challenge the status quo.

    Regional Oral History Office University of California The Bancroft Library Berkeley, California Jerry Berman The Free Speech Movement Oral History Project Interviews conducted by Lisa Rubens in 2000 Copyright © 2013 by The Regents of the University of California Since 1954 the Regional Oral History Office has been interviewing leading participants in or well-placed witnesses to major events in the development of Northern California, the West, and the nation. Oral History is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is bound with photographs and illustrative materials and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ********************************* All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Jerry Berman dated November 6, 2001. The manuscript is thereby made available for research purposes. All literary rights in the manuscript, including the right to publish, are reserved to The Bancroft Library of the University of California, Berkeley.
