Description

Now & Then: The Appalachian Magazine, Volume 32, Issue 02, published in 2016. The theme of this issue is the Future of Appalachia. This issue considers the future of Appalachia at a moment of transition, pairing reflections on change with an awareness of the region's past and present conditions. As the paper magazine is ending, contributors reflect on economic uncertainty, environmental pressures, and shifting cultural forms, while also identifying opportunities for renewal and growth. The future is framed not as a fixed outcome but as something shaped by choices related to land use, industry, health, and community life, often requiring a balance between innovation and continuity. Attention to memory, resilience, and lived experience underscores the importance of drawing on a usable past while adapting to new realities. The issue presents the future of Appalachia as open and contested, shaped by those who remain, return, and invest in the region's long term well-being.
