Rather than reinforcing conventional views of Appalachia as a poverty-ridden region, or by selectively dwelling on positive aspects of the place and its people to offset problematic stereotypes, this work insists that each of these options are equally problematic ways of looking at place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align:\" center\u003eThis work does not attempt to illustrate a certain type of injustice in the hope of remedying it. Instead, Kranitz has come to Appalachia to open up a new kind of narrative, one that examines our understanding of culture and place in a manner that is poised between notions of right and wrong.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align:\" center\u003eAs the narrative of\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eAs it Was Give(n) To Me\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eunfolds, the book provides an intimate perspective on a region forced to transition away from coal extraction as its dominant source of economic stability, an opioid epidemic that has wreaked havoc on communities, and the role of Appalachia in a politically divided nation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Stacy Kranitz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":66860237750576,"sku":null,"price":100.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0981\/3432\/7600\/files\/Stacy-Kranitz-As-It-Was-Given-To-Me_2048x_1038501e-2f66-462f-a42e-072e5bb02065.jpg?v=1779607741","url":"https:\/\/pkdtyc-s0.myshopify.com\/products\/copy-of-as-it-was-given-to-me","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
