Does a Culture of Appalachia Truly Exist?
1Texas Woman's University, Dallas, TX, USA sdenham@mail.twu.edu.
Abstract:
Some disagreement exists about whether an Appalachian culture exists. Common notions about Appalachia's people are tied to myths that disguise truths about those that claim a heritage tied to place. Living in the region is different from having multiple generations of ancestors and a family legacy associated with place. Conclusions suggest that cultural traits of some residents are recognizable as unique from others in the nation's mainstream, but they are not generalizable to all people living in the Appalachian region.
