This reading list seeks to serve as a starting point for Appalachians (queer or otherwise) looking to learn more about their region and those working in the region; non-Appalachian scholars and teachers for use as a teaching and research tool; and other non-Appalachians who have heard about the region and wish to learn more. This list is incredibly incomplete and many of the authors have multiple other noteworthy works. As I read and find more texts, I'll add them to the list. If you have any suggestions, please don't hesitate to reach out to me!
