There was no plan to have snakes as bookends, but the coincidence is appropriate for a book about urban Appalachians. Early migrants to Akron from West Virginia were invidiously dubbed "Snakes" by the "natives" of that city, most of whom had migrated to Ohio only a bit earlier. That kind of reaction to Appalachians in cities around the country is one of the reasons the Urban Appalachian Council was founded, and why this book was published. In September of 1995, the Urban Appalachian Council's Research Committee sponsored a three-day conference on urban Appalachians that attracted nearly two hundred participants from across eight states. The conference, held in Cincinnati, was organized around the theme, "Down Home, Downtown: Urban Appalachians Today." Continuing that theme, this volume represents a sample of the many and diverse presentations made at the conference. The conference organizers operated on a principle of inclusive- ness, inviting and accepting presentations from many different per- spectives on a range of interrelated topics. This book reflects the same breadth and inclusiveness. While the federal government's definition of Appalachia ends at certain county lines, the contributors to this book regard Appalachians as sharing a heritage that includes a rela- tionship to the geography of the mountains, but is not limited to it. Consequently, Appalachian people living in cities both within and outside of theofficially defined regionare considered urban Appalachians in this text. 10 xii Down Home, Downtown: Urban Appalachians Today The volume also includes a variety of styles and approaches to understanding urban Appalachians today. Some chapters are explora- tions of theoretical models while others emphasize more of a "how to" approach. Some report the results of technical research while other chapters are reflections on their authors' personal experiences. Some chapters quote from works of fiction to illustrate a point while others use interviews to let living people speak about themselves. Some chapters draw conclusions while others identify areas where more in- formation is needed before understanding can begin. This rich mix- ture of styles and approaches is simple testimony to the reality that the truth about Appalachian people is told with many different voices. Careful readers will note that these voices do not necessarily agree. The fact that there

Many a brave soul did it send hurrying down to Hades, and many a hero did it yield a prey to dogs and vultures, for so were the counsels of Jove fulfilled from the day on which the son of Atreus, king of men, and great Achilles, first fell out with one another. And which of the gods was it that set them on to quarrel? It was the son of Jove and Leto; for he was angry with the king and sent a pestilence upon the host to plague the people, because the son of Atreus had dishonoured Chryses his priest. Now Chryses had come to the ships of the Achaeans to free his daughter, and had brought with him a great ransom: moreover he bore in his hand the sceptre of Apollo wreathed with a suppliant's wreath and he besought the Achaeans, but most of all the two sons of Atreus, who were their chiefs. "Sons of Atreus," he cried, "and all other Achaeans, may the gods who dwell in Olympus grant you to sack the city of Priam, and to reach your homes in safety; but free my daughter, and accept a ransom for her, in reverence to Apollo, son of Jove." On this the rest of the Achaeans with one voice were for respecting the priest and taking the ransom that he offered; but not so Agamemnon, who spoke fiercely to him and sent him roughly away.

  • Bridging the Digital Divide in Rural Appalachia: Internet Usage in the Mountains Jacob J
    Informing Science InSITE - “Where Parallels Intersect” June 2003 Bridging the Digital Divide in Rural Appalachia: Internet Usage in the Mountains Jacob J. Podber, Ph.D. Southern Illinois University, Carbondale, IL, USA [email protected] Abstract This project looks at Internet usage within the Melungeon community of Appalachia. Although much has been written on the coal mining communities of Appalachia and on ethnicity within the region, there has been little written on electronic media usage by Appalachian communities, most notably the Melun- geons. The Melungeons are a group who settled in the Appalachian Mountains as early as 1492, of apparent Mediterranean descent. Considered by some to be tri-racial isolates, to a certain extent, Melungeons have been culturally constructed, and largely self-identified. According to the founder of a popular Me- lungeon Web site, the Internet has proven an effective tool in uncovering some of the mysteries and folklore surrounding the Melungeon community. This Web site receives more than 21,000 hits a month from Melungeons or others interested in the group. The Melungeon community, triggered by recent books, films, and video documentaries, has begun to use the Internet to trace their genealogy. Through the use of oral history interviews, this study examines how Melungeons in Appalachia use the Internet to connect to others within their community and to the world at large. Keywords : Internet, media, digital divide, Appalachia, rural, oral history, ethnography, sociology, com- munity Introduction In Rod Carveth and Susan Kretchmer’s paper “The Digital Divide in Western Europe,” (presented at the 2002 International Summer Conference on Communication and Technology) the authors examined how age, income and gender were predictors of the digital divide in Western Europe.

  • Extension Activity
    Extension Activity - How the Banjo Became White Rhiannon Giddens is a multi-instrumentalist, singer, and found- ing member of the old-time music group Carolina Chocolate Drops. In 2017 she was awarded the Macarthur “Genius” Grant. Below are excerpts from a keynote address she gave at the 2017 International Bluegrass Music Association Conference, where she discusses the erasure of African Americans in the history of bluegrass, a genre that predominantly features the banjo. So more and more of late, the question has been asked: how do we get more diversity in bluegrass? Which of course, behind the hand, is really, why is bluegrass so white??? But the answer doesn’t lie in right now. Before we can look to the future, we need to understand the past. To understand how the banjo, which was once the ultimate symbol of African American musical expression, has done a 180 in popular understanding and become the emblem of the mythical white mountaineer—even now, in the age of Mumford and Sons, and Béla Fleck in Africa, and Taj Mahal’s “Colored Aristocracy,” the average person on the street sees a banjo and still thinks Deliverance, or The Beverly Hillbillies. In order to understand the history of the banjo and the history of bluegrass music, we need to move beyond the narratives we’ve inherited, beyond generalizations that bluegrass is mostly derived from a Scots-Irish tradition, with “influences” from Africa. It is actually a complex creole music that comes from multiple cultures, African and European and Native; the full truth that is so much more interesting, and American.

Gertie Nevals is a tenant farmer in Appalachia during WW2.

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.
