Recenzii

 
"A terrific contribution to an understudied topic in Appalachian studies: middle-class culture, society, and politics. Talmage A. Stanley's compassionate depiction of a sector often simply referred to as 'local elites' or the 'managerial class' exposes a tragedy akin to that of Willy Loman in Arthur Miller'sDeath of a Salesman.His elaboration of the West Virginia coalfield experience as an archetypal form particular to the industrial capitalist social vision is brilliantly illuminated by fragments of his family archive."--Mary Hufford, editor ofConserving Culture: A New Discourse on Heritage

"Stanley's book is interesting, and it certainly makes a scholarly contribution to the literature.  Anyone searching for a fresh perspective on twentieth-century Appalachia or middle-class life in the United States would do well to give it a read."--The Journal of Southern History
