Catte refuses to submit to stereotype, examining the oft-neglected nuances of her home-region.
I wanted this to be longer because it was so well written and I learned so much from it! I'm not Appalachian but I think a lot of the writing off or pathologizing residents of a region you disdain that Catte talks about here can apply to other areas (like every “red state,” just a thought). I want to read more about Appalachian history and this was a great introduction to the activism and courage that have been there all along.
