Summary:

"Y'all Means All is a celebration of the weird and wonderful aspects of a troubled region in all of their manifest glory! The seventeen writers in this collection eschew the contemporary trend of 'reactive' writing in the genre of Appalachian studies to provide examples of how modern Appalachians are defining themselves on their own terms with resiliency, ingenuity, and spirit. Multidisciplinary and multigenre, they incorporate critical race theory and queer theory to challenge the labels, stereotypes, and marginalization that queer folks in Appalachia have faced historically from within and outside the region." -- Back cover
