1. There is a growing understanding among scholars that certain regions of the world experience similar social and economic challenges even with cultural and political differences between those regions are vast. This book takes that understanding as its starting point for approaching the challenges faced by people living in mountain regions the world over. Just within the US alone, the presence of the Appalachian Center at the University of Kentucky, the Mountains and Sacred Landscapes conference held in 2017 at the New School in New York City, and Appalachian Studies Association conferences planned for 2018 and 2019 point to a sustained and growing interest in this topic.
2. Editor Ann Kingsolver is a very well-known and highly-respected name in the field of Appalachian Studies. She is the director of the Appalachian Center and the Appalachian Studies Program at the University of Kentucky. This is her fourth book
3. Because the scope of this work takes a global perspective, the collection will also find a broader scholarly audience among global studies scholars, poverty studies scholars and others focused on economic policy.
The editors and authors offer a cross-cultural exploration of the many strategies that mountain communities are employing to face the concerns of the future.No matter where they are located in the world, communities living in mountain regions have shared experiences defined in large part by contradictions. These communities often face social and economic marginalization despite providing the lumber, coal, minerals, tea, and tobacco that have fueled the growth of nations for centuries. They are perceived as remote and socially inferior backwaters on one hand while simultaneously seen as culturally rich and spiritually sacred spaces on the other. These contradictions become even more fraught as environmental changes and political strains place added pressure on these mountain communities. Shifting national borders and changes to watersheds, forests, and natural resources play an increasingly important role as nations respond to the needs of a global economy. The works in this volume consider multiple nations, languages, generations, and religions in their exploration of upland communities' responses to the unique challenges and opportunities they share. From paintings to digital mapping, environmental studies to poetry, land reclamation efforts to song lyrics, the collection provides a truly interdisciplinary and global study. The editors and authors offer a cross-cultural exploration of the many strategies that mountain communities are employing to face the concerns of the future.
