Through powerful narratives, the contributors make clear the ways in which social class and race intersect without dismissing the existence of white privilege. --Karen L. Dace, Vice Chancellor for Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis author, Unlikely Allies: Women of Color and White Women in Conversation Alicia Chavira-Prado has organized an important intervention into transformative feminist alliances that span racial lines. This collection of essays lays important groundwork to naming and theorizing the interstitial spaces and unnamed possibilities that exist in alliances between white Appalachian women and women of color. The volume takes challenging our limited understanding of Appalachian culture as a point of departure to explore the intersections that align women of color and white Appalachian women, taking care to attend to the intersections of power that enable and constrain those affinities. --Aimee Carrillo-Rowe, Associate Professor, Communication Studies, California State University, Northridge, author, Power Lines: On the Subject of Feminist Alliances Author InformationAlicia Chavira-Prado is Special Assistant to the Vice President for Diversity and Inclusion at Ohio University.
