Praise for Elizabeth Catte’s

What You Are Getting Wrong About Appalachia:

“Small presses across Appalachia and the Rust Belt consistently publish, to little fanfare, incredibly diverse work—books that are lush, gritty, surprising and so very true. Perhaps the best example, or certainly the best place to begin, is Catte’s What You Are Getting Wrong About Appalachia. This edgy, meticulous work of nonfiction from Cleveland’s Belt Publishing dispels many myths about the region.” —Leah Hampton, Los Angeles Times

“Catte’s slim, very readable volume is like a more focused version of Howard Zinn’s venerable A People’s History Of The United States, turning its lens to the on-the-ground civic struggles of people who have lived and died in Appalachia.”—Laura Adamczyk, The A.V. Club

“A brief, forceful, and necessary correction.” —Frank Guan, Bookforum

“You couldn’t kill this book with a hammer. Come and watch Elizabeth Catte clip the hollow wings of little jimmy vance. Stay and behold an enlightened vision, a living solidarity found among the strong and varied peoples of this misunderstood land.”—Glenn Taylor, author of The Ballad of Trenchmount Taggart

“What are we getting wrong about Appalachia? A lot.… This is a necessary antidote to the cyclical mainstream interest in Appalachia as a backwards, white working-class caricature.”—Tressie McMillan Cottom, author of Thick

“A bold refusal to submit to stereotype.”—Kirkus Reviews

“Succeeds in providing a richer, more complex view of a much-maligned region.”—Publishers Weekly
