In Telling The Stories Of African Americans Living And Working In Appalachian Coal Towns, Brown Offers A Sweeping Look At Race, Identity, Changes In Politics And Policy, And Black Migration In The Region And Beyond.Drawn From Over 150 Original Oral History Interviews With Former And Current Residents Of Harlan County, Kentucky, Brown Shows That As The Nation Experienced Enormous Transformation From The Pre To The Postcivil Rights Era, So Too Did Black Americans. In Reconstructing The Life Histories Of Black Coal Miners, Brown Shows The Mutable And Shifting Nature Of Collective Identity, The Struggles Of Labor And Representation, And That Appalachia Is Far More Diverse Than You Think.
