Storytelling in Queer Appalachia Imagining and Writing the Unspeakable Other

Ryerson, Rachael, (editor.). Gradin, Sherrie L., (editor.). Glasby, Hillery, (editor.).

Summary: "In one of the first collections of scholarship at the intersection of LGBTQ studies and Appalachian studies, voices from the region's valleys, hollers, mountains, and campuses blend personal stories with scholarly and creative examinations of living and surviving as queers in Appalachia. The essayists collected in Storytelling in Queer Appalachia are academics, social workers, riot grrrl activists, teachers, students, practitioners, scholars of divinity, and boundary crossers, all imagining how to make legible the unspeakable other of Appalachian queerness"--
