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
