The World History Center working group on Global Appalachia and the Global Studies Center will host a series of book discussions focusing on the region of Appalachia from a global perspective. This event will be about the book Ramp Hollow: The Ordeal of Appalachia by Steven Stoll. In Ramp Hollow, Steven Stoll offers a fresh, provocative account of Appalachia, and why it matters. His investigation, ranging widely from history to literature, art, and economics, questions our assumptions about progress and development and exposes the devastating legacy of dispossession and its repercussions today.
