such a beautiful depiction of home and community and their complexities!! i’ve been interested in learning more about appalachian culture and found this very interesting + informative and really enjoyed Neema’s unique lens !!

as a whole, i liked this! some parts felt a little superficial, but there were a lot more reflective moments that did balance that out. my main critique is the discussion of addiction felt like it lacked a certain care/sensitivity about it. it felt self-cantered and i was disappointed that she called the cops, but maybe not surprising because of the self-ID as a liberal.

Phenomenal collection of essays and there is one in particular, The Blue-Red Divide, which should be a must read for everyone.

A really enjoyable collection! I appreciated the exploration of an intersection of identities I hadn’t previously considered.
