Part of this pain may be attributed to substance use itself, but much is also due to our collective reaction to substance use and people who use drugs. The confluence of stigmas against Appalachians, people who are poor, and people who use drugs, as well as the intense surveillance of caregivers, have produced interpersonal violence within medical, social service, and legal systems, which the authors have documented in their geographically dispersed work. This discrimination lives within policies that negatively affect the health, economic opportunities, and family life of many Appalachians who are poor. As researchers and community health workers, we propose ways of moving forward that avoid further marginalizing vulnerable populations, particularly people who are caregivers and use drugs.","PeriodicalId":93112,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Appalachian studies","volume":"75 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88079455","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}

This analysis sets out to do the discursive work to identify and articulate processes and expressions of alternative economic spaces highlighting the importance of relocalization and representation in Appalachian communities. This article (1) explains the concepts of diverse economy, community economy, and resubjectivation and examines the diverse economy framework as a way of thinking about economic processes including diverse transactions, labor, enterprises, property, and finance; (2) briefly considers the use of this model in Appalachian scholarship; (3) applies this framework to the agricultural landscape of Stinking Creek; and (4) discusses three specific aspects of the Lend-A-Hand Center Grow Appalachia Program—home gardens, community gardens, and the Knox County Farmers’ Market. In the face of pressing social issues in the region and renewed interest in the discourses of development, local food, and just transition, this work seeks to intervene in region-wide discussions and suggest avenues for change.","PeriodicalId":93112,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Appalachian studies","volume":"40 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84171235","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 project created a trove of data for scholars in multiple disciplines who were interested in studying and researching the region and its history and culture. Interviewers conducted a significant portion of the oral histories with African American residents of the region. However, in the intervening decades, researchers have done little with these histories or the larger project that they make up. What do these oral histories have to say today about African American identities in Central Appalachia and the use of oral history to confront questions of place and identity? A pilot project made use of ethnographic methods to explore these questions. Through a unique utilization of the Appalachian Oral History Project archives, the project was designed to be a conversation across time between a current resident of the region and those who long ago told their own stories of what it meant to make a life as a black American in Central Appalachia. Such a method offers a model for a more expansive project and provides direction for both a reconsideration of the uses of oral history collections and for future critical archival scholarship.","PeriodicalId":93112,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Appalachian studies","volume":"64 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76991512","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}

Recent research indicates that traditional Appalachian English (AppE) features are influx, with some dying out, others remaining stable, and others increasing among the younger generations. Yet these changes seem to be operating differently depending on where one is within Appalachia. In light of this variability, this article will focus on the results of a large-scale survey of self-reported AppE usage, investigating the extent of subregional dialect variation present in Appalachia. Rather than finding a single homogeneous AppE being used in the same way throughout the region, this study finds instead a clear subregional distinction with speakers in Northern Appalachia much less willing to admit using traditional features of AppE than speakers in Southern Appalachia, even though for most features, both subregions appeared to be hearing these features the same.","PeriodicalId":93112,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Appalachian studies","volume":"39 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91355263","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}
