Marie Tedesco Archives of Appalachia East Tennessee State University Marie Tedesco Archives of Appalachia East Tennessee State University The following bibliography of scholarship on Appalachia is intended to serve as a guide, primarily to works written from 1960. The exception to this principle is in the section Classics in Appalachian Scholarship, where most of the works cited predate 1960. The bibliography focuses on book-length works, not on articles written for journals. For articles see the bibliographies cited below. Excluded from the bibliography are works of fiction, including both novels and shorter works, i.e. novellas, short stories and tales.

    Voices of Feminism Oral History Project Sophia Smith Collection, Smith College Northampton, MA CATHERINE ROMA Interviewed by JOYCE FOLLET June 19 and 20, 2005 Northampton, Massachusetts This interview was made possible with generous support from the Ford Foundation. © Sophia Smith Collection 2006 Sophia Smith Collection Voices of Feminism Oral History Project Narrator Catherine Roma was born in Philadelphia January 29, 1948, the youngest of three children of Italian-born parents. Her mother completed high school and, once married, was a community volunteer. Her father graduated from Princeton University and Temple Law School, but when his own father died young, he left legal practice to run the family’s barbershops in Philadelphia and other East Coast railroad terminals. Practicing Catholics, Catherine’s parents sent her to Germantown Friends School K-12; she remains a Convinced Friend. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, Roma earned a BA in music and an MM in Choral Conducting at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where she became involved in socialist-feminist politics and began organizing a feminist choral group in 1974. Returning to Philadelphia the following year to teach music at Abington Friends School, she organized and conducted Anna Crusis, the first feminist women’s choir in the US. In 1983 she undertook the doctorate in musical arts at the University of Cincinnati, where she founded MUSE, the community chorus she continues to lead. Under Roma’s leadership, MUSE is a vital group in what has become a national and international grassroots movement of women’s choruses. MUSE is recognized as a model anti-racist community organization and a progressive force in Cincinnati politics.

OF MISS., THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, STUDENTS, AND SLAVERY 137 The University of Mississippi, the Board of Trustees, Students, and Slavery: 1848-1860 by Elias J. Baker The ongoing public and scholarly discussions about many Americans’ widespread ambivalence toward the nation’s relationship to slavery and persistent racial discrimination have connected pundits and observers from an array of fields and institutions. As the authors of Brown University’s report on slavery and justice suggest, however, there is an increasing recognition that universities and colleges must provide the leadership for efforts to increase understanding of the connections between state institutions of higher learning and slavery.1 To participate in this vital process the University of Mississippi needs a foundation of research about the school’s own participation in slavery and racial injustice. The visible legacies of the school’s Confederate past are plenty, including monuments, statues, building names, and even a cemetery.

Young This dissertation examines the causes, context, and legacies of the 1927-1928 Colorado coal strike in relationship to the history of labor organizing and coalmining in both Colorado and the United States. While historians have written prolifically about the Ludlow Massacre, which took place during the 1913- 1914 Colorado coal strike led by the United Mine Workers of America, there has been a curious lack of attention to the Columbine Massacre that occurred not far away within the 1927-1928 Colorado coal strike, led by the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW).

  • Truman Gates and the Transformation of Otherness in the Film, Next Of
    Appalachian Studies Association 2016 Conference Proposal Session Format: Panel Session Track: Appalachian Studies; History; Urban Appalachians Title of Panel: Otherness Among Us: Cultural Depictions of Urban Appalachians in 20th Century Film and Literature Content Summary: ***Preface The life styles and traits of Southern Appalachians has been depicted often in literature and film. This panel will discuss the meme of Appalachian otherness and its influence on two films, Next of Kin and The Dollmaker which are about Appalachian migrants to Chicago and Detroit. Panel Abstract: The concept of a different subculture or “sense of otherness” as Henry Shapiro (1978) has called it, has influenced authors and, later, screen writers since the nineteenth century. The meme of Appalachian otherness originated in 1873 with the publication of Will Wallace Harney’s article A Strange Land and Peculiar People. This was, in turn, was carried forward by other local color writers. The perception of a region “in but not of America” became conventional wisdom after academics wrote about it in the 1890s and Horace Kephart and John C. Campbell published their books in the early years of the 20th century. Novelist also portrayed the culture and traits of people living in the Southern Appalachian mountains. John Fox, Jr.’s Trail of the Lonesome Pine (1908) depicted a progressive outsider confronting the peculiar ways of mountain society. The meme of otherness was repeated later in stories by Jesse Stuart, Rebecca Caudill, Harriett Arnow, and Willa Dykeman. Hollywood writers also pictured mountaineers as different from mainstream Americans. Films such as Trail of the Lonesome Pine, Sergeant York, and Deliverance highlighted the sense of otherness.

  • Landscape and History at the Headwaters of the Big Coal River
    Landscape and History at the Headwaters of the Big Coal River Valley An Overview By Mary Hufford Reading the Landscape: An Introduction “This whole valley’s full of history.” -- Elsie Rich, Jarrold’s Valley From the air today, as one flies westward across West Virginia, the mountains appear to crest in long, undulating waves, giving way beyond the Allegheny Front to the deeply crenulated mass of the coal-bearing Allegheny plateaus. The sandstone ridges of Cherry Pond, Kayford, Guyandotte, and Coal River mountains where the headwaters of southern West Virginia’s Big Coal River rise are the spectacular effect of millions of years of erosion. Here, water cutting a downward path through shale etched thousands of winding hollows and deep valleys into the unglaciated tablelands of the plateaus. Archeologists have recovered evidence of human activity in the mountains only from the past 12,000 years, a tiny period in the region’s ecological development. Over the eons it took to transform an ancient tableland into today’s mountains and valleys, a highly differentiated forest evolved. Known among ecologists as the mixed mesophytic forest, it is the biologically richest temperate-zone hardwood system in the world. And running in ribbons beneath the fertile humus that anchors the mixed mesophytic are seams of coal, the fossilized legacy of an ancient tropical forest, submerged and compressed during the Paleozoic era beneath an inland sea.1 Many of the world’s mythologies explain landforms as the legacies of struggles among giants, time out of mind. Legend accounts for the Giant’s Causeway, a geological formation off the coast of Northern Ireland, as the remains of an ancient bridge that giants made between Ireland and Scotland.
