A Space on the Side of the Road by Kathleen Stewart
In towns like Amigo, Red Jacket, Helen, Odd, Viper, Decoy, and Twilight, men and women track a dense social imaginary through stories of traumas, apparitions, encounters, and eccentricities. This book explores how this storytelling imbues everyday life in the hills and forms a cultural poetics.
"[A] subtle and rich ethnography of southwestern West VirginiaFrom everyday language ... Stewart conjures a dynamic, conflictual portrait of life in the 'hollers' and coal camps... A Space on the Side of the Road is without a doubt one of the best examples of the new ethnography."--American Journal of Sociology
