between kentucky and west virginia. the image of appalachia as an impoverished and backward area continues to haunt the region to this day. indeed, many residents have absorbed and inverted negative stereotypes of the region and its people and have also constructed new identities for themselves based upon how they think they are perceived. a classic example of this, i think, is the recent best-selling book, j.d. vance's hillbilly-ology, a book we'll turn to later on in this lecture. for these reasons, it's beholden on us, i think, to understand how appalachian stereotypes have evolved over time and how they have been mobilized in different circumstances for the benefit of outsiders and those who live here. but i think i would like to start our story with a negative stereotype, and i want to dissect a negative image of ap latchians in american culture, beginning in the mid to late 19th century. among the oldest and perhaps most persist eent aspects of th view of the people of the mountains is their cultural and economic backwardness, their supposed backwardness. edgar alan poe set
