Welcome to the UNC Press Virtual Exhibit for the Appalachian Studies Association.
Scroll through to see our newest releases!
We’re looking forward to meeting you at the conference. But if you are not traveling this year, we’re bringing our book exhibit to you.
From virtually anywhere, you can browse our list of new and recent titles, chat with our acquisitions editor Lucas Church, and more.
UNC Press has partnerships with two journals that publish in Appalachian Studies.
Appalachian Review
https://uncpress.org/journals/appalachian-review/
Formerly Appalachian Heritage, this journal showcases the work of emerging and established writers throughout Appalachia and beyond.
Southern Cultures
https://uncpress.org/journals/southern-cultures/
This award-winning journal explores the history, politics, folklore, literature, and art of the South.
All of our books (in fact, our entire site) are available now at our 40 percent ASA conference discount. Plus if your order totals $75, domestic U.S. shipping is FREE! Just use promo code 01DAH40 at checkout.
Follow the links at the left for information on submitting a book proposal, ordering desk or examination copies (even free digital exam copies), classroom permissions, disability resources, and more. We’ve even created a handy FAQ document, with answers to the most-asked questions we get at exhibit booths.
Click on any book below to learn more. And, using our View Inside feature, you can leaf through the pages for a preview of each new book, just as if you were standing at our booth. Check it out on each book page.
