Appalachian Black People: Identity, Location and Racial Barriers by Wilburn Hayden, Jr.

By Wilburn Hayden

Appalachian Black People provides a critical race framework for examining racism and black oppression in Appalachia. The book can be a starting or ending point for viewing experiences of black people within the Appalachian Region. For those wanting to reflect on the distinctiveness of being black within the Region, it is intended to be a stepping stone for further exploration and action. For others who seek to understand obstacles encountered by blacks in a largely white environment, it is an open window into that struggle. Hopefully others will experience the author's perspectives as a challenge to question, reject and/or accept traditional concepts of black Appalachia.
