This study examines food insecurity and associated risk factors among first- and continuing-generation college students attending an Appalachian university in the Fall of 2019. Students completed an online Qualtrics survey that measured food security status using the 2012 US Department of Agriculture ten-item Adult Food Security Survey Module. Multivariate logistic regression models explored factors that influence food insecurity among first-generation students. Of respondents (n = 2,653), 723 were first-generation and 1,930 were continuing-generation. Food insecurity prevalence among first-generation students was 15.7 percent higher than among continuing-generation students. Black first-generation college students were 296 percent more likely to be food insecure compared to white students. First-generation students were more at risk if they experienced childhood food insecurity but were lower risk if they were aware of campus food resources. As first-generation college students experience food insecurity, resources are needed to help transition them into campus life. Screening for childhood food insecurity among incoming college students could help to distribute resources to students in need. Promotion of campus food resources may make students aware of available protection against campus food insecurity.","PeriodicalId":93112,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Appalachian studies","volume":"95 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77222345","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The narrative depicts the theft of an Appalachian pastoral scene, which quickly devolves into mine work, abuse, and death. Mine labor is described vividly, and it is performed under the steady eye of mine guards who use threats, intimidation, and weapons to quash strikes, kill strikers, and keep miners working and living in fear. Giardina’s novel is a political novel that challenges unfair working conditions and neoliberal exploitation. She uses her work to create a sense of exhaustion through aesthetic and narrative choices. Exhaustion, with its resonances of hard work and honest labor, helps Giardina shift the Southern Appalachian structures of feeling from past political and social loss toward an alignment of political activism and futurity. Excerpts from reviews of the novel show how readers process their sense of exhaustion and the novel’s political aims. Giardina’s style is effective for getting readers to sympathize with her labor politics by using a familiar, anti-cathartic staying-power, although this style seems to lack a sense of sustainability and risks making readers feel manipulated or politically fatigued.","PeriodicalId":93112,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Appalachian studies","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83465481","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Murfree’s most famous work, In the Tennessee Mountains (1884), in terms of its construction of Appalachian identity. The stories contained in that collection were originally published in the Atlantic Monthly and were therefore among the first widely read depictions of the Appalachian mountaineer. Reading some of Murfree’s stories in the context of articles they were published alongside in the Atlantic Monthly and the larger cultural milieu of the period, this article argues that racializing discourse was not coincidental to early Appalachian texts, but integral to an evolving national discourse on whiteness. The author then traces that discourse throughout some of Murfree’s other stories in the 1884 collection, illuminating a rhetorical phenomenon of racializing and anachronizing the Southern Appalachian mountaineer into developing social hierarchies.","PeriodicalId":93112,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Appalachian studies","volume":"2076 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91330698","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
