Title: Appalachian lives
First published: 2003
Description: "This collection of eighty photographs focuses on present-day Appalachia, a region that "progress" has placed under siege." "This once poverty-stricken, mountain backwater has been invaded by four-lane interstates, cable television, Wal-Mart, and mobile homes. The people have largely abandoned log cabins and country stores and now shun overalls in favor of tee shirts that blaze advertising logos." "Over a period of twenty-five years Adams has traveled back to his home state of Kentucky with his cameras to document the lives of people there and to enrich and challenge outside perceptions of Appalachia."--Jacket.
