Описание: In 2007, while researching mountain culture in upstate South Carolina, anthropologist John M. Coggeshall stumbled upon the small community of Liberia, in the Blue Ridge foothills. There he met Mable Owens Clarke and her family, the remaining members of a small African American community still living on land obtained immediately after the Civil War. This intimate history tells the story of five generations of the Clarke family and their friends and neighbors, chronicling their struggles through slavery, Reconstruction, the Jim Crow era, and the desegregation of the state. Through hours of interviews with Mable and her relatives, as well as friends and neighbors, Coggeshall presents an ethnographic history that allows a largely ignored community to speak and record their own history for the first time. This story sheds new light on the African American experience in Appalachia, and in it Coggeshall documents the community's 150-year history of resistance to white oppression, while offering a new way to understand the symbolic relationship between residents and the land they occupy, tying together family, memory, and narratives to explain this connection.

Описание: When Ashe County Memorial Hospital opened in November 1941, it was the realization of a dream for the poor, sparsely populated county in northwestern North Carolina. Building a hospital is a major feat for any community in any time, but marshaling the resources to accomplish this in the waning days of the Great Depression, with the country on the brink of entering World War II, and local resources taxed by catastrophic floods and severe snows, is a story that should be told.Set against the backdrop of healthcare in Appalachia for the last one hundred plus years, the story follows four generations of physicians and surgeons in the family of Dr. Arthur Lee ""Bud"" Jones, whose destinies are interwoven with healthcare in the region and the planning, building, and operation of Ashe Memorial Hospital. This legacy, brought to life with over one hundred photographs and over one hundred personal interviews, traces the evolution of community healthcare from the days of folk remedies and midwives to horseback doctors and hospitals to the technological advances and outreach efforts of today's Ashe Memorial Hospital, a testament to the people of Appalachia, who continue to take care of their own.

Описание: When Ashe County Memorial Hospital opened in November 1941, it was the realization of a dream for the poor, sparsely populated county in the mountains of northwestern North Carolina. Building a hospital is a major undertaking for any community at any time. Accomplishing this in the waning days of the Great Depression and on the brink of World War II, while scant local resources were taxed by catastrophic floods and severe snows, was a remarkable feat of community organization. This is the story of the generations of supporters, doctors, nurses, emergency personnel and others whose lives are interwoven with regional health care and the planning, building and operation of (the ""new"") Ashe Memorial Hospital. This legacy, brought to life through 114 photographs and personal interviews with 97 individuals, traces the development of health care in a remote Appalachian community, from the days of folk remedies and midwives, to horseback doctors and early infirmaries, to the technological advances and outreach efforts of today's Ashe Memorial Hospital.
