The Appalachian Studies Association was formed in 1977 by a group of scholars, teachers, and regional activists who believed that "shared community has been and will continue to be important to those writing, researching, and teaching about Appalachia." The Appalachian Studies Conference, an annual gathering of ASA members, is held on a rotating basis at sites in Kentucky, West Virginia, Virginia, Georgia, North Carolina, and Tennessee. The Conference has several purposes: to share work in progress, to foster cooperation between disciplines, and to stimulate new work of Significance.

Obermiller " Perhaps nowhere is Appalachian identity more sharply defined than in urban areas, especially outside the region. These essays examine some salient issues in urban Appalachian' life and culture. They make an important contribution to the growing body of discourse about Appalachia." Professor Jean Haskell Speer, Director of the Center for Appalachian Studies and Services, East Tennessee State University. "A truly interdisciplinary collection featuring a wide. diversity of voices, approaches, topics, communities, and experience. An important addition to the Appalachian Studies and migrant literature.' , Steve Fisher, Hawthorne Professor of Political Science and Director of the Appalachian Center for Community Services, Emory and Henry College. "Appalachian culture, education, literature, women, values - all are topics of interest and debate among Appalachian scholars nationwide, but here they apply to urban Appalachians, a group that those of us from Snowville, Virginia to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania need to pay attention to ." Professor Grace Toney Edwards, Director of the Appalachian Regional Studies Center, Radford University. "A welcome addition to the scholarly literature dealing with urban Appalachians in particular, this well-balanced and up-to-date collection of essays, case studies, and creative writing can also help readers to better understand the interdisciplinary range and scope of Appalachian Studies as a whole." Professor Richard Blaustein, Coordinator of the Undergraduate Minor in Appalachian Studies, East Tennessee State University.
