Selling Tradition: Appalachia and the Construction of an American Folk, 1930-1940
Jane S. Becker
Examining ""folk revivals"" in the early 20th century, this book reveals the cultural politics surrounding the re-emergence of Southern Appalachian handicrafts. The author shows how this revival had not so much to do with recapturing tradition as fufilling the desires of middle-class taste.
