Description

Now & Then: The Appalachian Magazine, Volume 31, Issue 02, published in 2016. The theme of this issue is Justice in Appalachia. Framed by questions of justice and accountability, this issue brings together writing that addresses legal, environmental, social, and cultural struggles across Appalachia. Drawing on both historical memory and contemporary events, it documents labor conflicts, resource extraction, and public health crises alongside efforts to organize, protest, and seek reform. Contributors present personal narratives and community based accounts that examine issues of identity, including LGBTQ and Melungeon experiences, as well as movements for racial justice and intergenerational activism. The issue also considers the role of cultural expression, including music, poetry, and storytelling, in shaping and sustaining justice work. By connecting past conflicts with present day advocacy and reform, the volume reflects the ongoing efforts of Appalachian communities to confront inequality and pursue more equitable futures within the region.
