Opis

In exploring the ways that Appalachian people speak and write, Amanda E. Hayes raises the importance of knowing and respecting communication styles within a marginalized culture. Diving deep into the region's historical roots - especially those of the Scotch-Irish and their influence on her own Appalachian Ohio - Hayes reveals a rhetoric with its own unique logic, utility, and poetry.
