|
For over one century, both popular culture and the social science literature have depicted Appalachia as an extremely poor, less developed, and especially violent part of America. The present paper explores the historical factors and the structural and cultural conditions that contributed to Appalachia being perceived as the “other America,” focusing on a governmental initiative that created a unique federal-state-local partnership, the Appalachian Regional Commission, which for more than four decades tries to help Appalachia achieve socioeconomic parity with the nation.
Keywords: popular culture, social science, socioeconomic parity
