Description
Now & Then: The Appalachian Magazine, Volume 30, Issue 02, published in 2015. The theme of this issue is The Best of 30 Years, Part I. This issue presents the first part of a retrospective collection, drawing from selected works published between 1984 and 1999 to revisit major themes in Appalachian studies. It brings together essays, interviews, and narratives that reflect on topics such as health, place, and cultural tradition, community leadership, labor activism, media, religion, and humor, illustrating the breadth of concerns that have shaped the magazine's earlier volumes. The selections emphasize lived experience, storytelling, and regional identity, while also documenting moments of social change, cultural preservation, and grassroots organizing. By returning to these earlier topics the issue connects past discussions to ongoing questions about life in Appalachia. It serves as a reflection on the foundations of the magazine's work and highlights the enduring relevance of these themes within Appalachian culture.
