Appalachia in an International Context

Cross-National Comparisons of Developing Regions

von Phillip Obermiller, William Philliber

258 Seiten, Hardcover

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The study of diverse yet comparable regions uncovers structural similarities that override the defective culture theory of developing regions as well as the belief that they are unique ecological phenomena. This collected work establishes Appalachia as a case study for a coherent cross-national perspective. Written by authorities on the social and economic problems of these regions, this work should assist in alleviating some of the most striking misconceptions about regional development.
