Appalachia

"We learned, along with other poverty warriors, that it was not some deviant culture that causes the inequality in our communities, but the consequences of race, class and gender subjugation, that had allowed some to succeed and others to be trapped in generational poverty."

"Appalachia is not part of some other America, but is a reflection of America," he said. "Anti-poverty programs did little to address problems of inequitable land ownership, capital outflow, or political cronyism in Appalachia."

I'm definitely going to find some of Eller's books.
