About the Book

The study of diverse yet comparable regions uncovers structural similarities that override the defective culture theory of developing regions as well as the belief that they are unique ecological phenomena. This collected work establishes Appalachia as a case study for a coherent cross-national perspective. Written by authorities on the social and economic problems of these regions, this work should assist in alleviating some of the most striking misconceptions about regional development.

Review :
?This book is a coup. Obermiller and Philliber have assembled 11 thoughtful chapters by ten authors. All except the first and last chapters compare present-day Appalachia in depth with another part of the world. Such comparisons are too rare and can yield valuable insights. Not just comparisons are here. The book is full of theories as well.?-Appalachian Journal "This book is a coup. Obermiller and Philliber have assembled 11 thoughtful chapters by ten authors.
