A new generation of scholars continues the work of Appalachian studies' pioneers, exploring the diversity and complexity of the region and its people. Labor migrations from around the world transformed the region during its critical period of economic growth. Collective struggles over occupational health and safety, the environment, equal rights, and civil rights challenged longstanding stereotypes. Investigations of political and economic power and the role of social actors and social movements in Appalachian history add to the foundational work that demonstrates a dynamic and diverse region.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJennifer Egolf\u003c\/b\u003e is a visiting professor at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. \u003cb\u003eKen Fones-Wolf\u003c\/b\u003e is the Stuart and Joyce Robbins Chair and Professor of History at West Virginia University. \u003cb\u003eLouis Martin\u003c\/b\u003e is an assistant professor of history at Chatham University.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 384\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 8.9 x 5.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 23, 2009\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51796849787168,"sku":"9781933202396","price":32.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/3d8041b7ab7a6c909763b3ebabc8d865.webp?v=1780768133","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/culture-class-and-politics-in-modern-appalachia-essays-in-honor-of-ronald-l-lewis-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
