About Whither Appalachia

Whither, Appalachia? as both a journal and blog is an attempt from those within the region to create a clear theoretical basis by which radicals can attempt to understand what a radical horizon would look like and what Appalachia, pressed under precarity, will look like with ever increasing class conflict. Appalachia’s problems are glaringly obvious, and any understanding of how they are to be approached must come from outside all preexisting narratives which have since their creation failed. This is not to discard previous discourse on the region, but merely to salvage what we can and leave the rest behind. Out of the critique, hopefully heightened understanding will come from it.
