Power and Powerlessness: Quiescence & Rebellion in an Appalachian Valley
"With [this volume], a compelling work of powerful reportage and careful analysis, Gaventa joins other trusted Appalachian observers - Tom Gish, Harry Caudill, James Branscombe - in explaining to outsiders the conflicts between the financial interests of the coal and land companies and the moral rights of the vulnerable mountaineers." - Colman McCarthy, The Washington Post
