Culture and Poverty in Appalachia: A Theoretical Discussion and Empirical Analysis
Billings, Dwight
Social Forces, 53, 2, 315-323, Dec 74
An analysis of Appalachian and non-Appalachian residents of North Carolina on a scale of "middle-class orientation" revealed only small attitudinal differences, casting doubt on traditional "culture of poverty" explanations. Instead a situational analysis of Appalachian poverty is recommended as an alternative to the cultural explanation. (Author/EH)
