    Uneven Ground: Appalachia Since 1945 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 682min
    Appalachia has played a complex and often contradictory role in the unfolding of American history. Created by urban journalists in the years following the Civil War, the idea of Appalachia provided a counterpoint to emerging definitions of progress. Early 20th-century critics of modernity saw the region as a remnant of frontier life, a reflection of simpler times that should be preserved and protected. However, supporters of development and of the growth of material production, consumption, and technology decried what they perceived as the isolation and backwardness of the place and sought to "uplift" the mountain people through education and industrialization. Ronald D Eller has worked with local leaders, state policymakers, and national planners to translate the lessons of private industrial-development history into public policy affecting the region. In Uneven Ground: Appalachia Since 1945, Eller examines the politics of development in Appalachia since World War II with an eye toward exploring the idea of progress as it has evolved in modern America. Appalachia's struggle to overcome poverty, to live in harmony with the land, and to respect the diversity of cultures and the value of community is also an American story. In the end, Eller concludes, "Appalachia was not different from the rest of America; it was in fact a mirror of what the nation was becoming." The book is published by University Press of Kentucky. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Neil Holmes. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/077996/bk_acx0_077996_sample.mp3.

    Blood in the Hills: A History of Violence in Appalachia (New Directions in Southern History) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 741min
    To many antebellum Americans, Appalachia was a frightening wilderness of lawlessness, peril, robbers, and hidden dangers. The extensive media coverage of horse stealing and scalping raids profiled the region's residents as intrinsically violent. After the Civil War, this characterization continued to permeate perceptions of the area, and news of the conflict between the Hatfields and the McCoys, as well as the bloodshed associated with the coal labor strikes, cemented Appalachia's violent reputation.Blood in the Hills: A History of Violence in Appalachia provides an in-depth historical analysis of hostility in the region from the late 18th to the early 20th century. Editor Bruce E. Stewart discusses aspects of the Appalachian violence culture, examining skirmishes with the native population, conflicts resulting from the region's rapid modernization, and violence as a function of social control. The contributors also address geographical isolation and ethnicity, kinship, gender, class, and race with the purpose of shedding light on an often-stereotyped regional past. Blood in the Hills does not attempt to apologize for the region but uses detailed research and analysis to explain it, delving into the social and political factors that have defined Appalachia throughout its violent history.The book is published by The University Press of Kentucky. The audiobook is published by University Press Audiobooks."A lively and insightful account of a still-largely-unfamiliar aspect of the history of American slavery." (Publishers Weekly)"A great service of expanding the literature connecting African and African American foodways with those with which we are familiar." (H-Net Reviews)"A fascinating account, illustrative of the invisibility of individuals whose work was central to the public performance of plantation culture." (Choice) ungekürzt. Language: English.
