A space on the side of the road
I'm giving this a 3.5. I read this when I was in college majoring in cultural anthropology. I thought it was so interesting then, and even reading it again I found it really interesting. My problem with it is that it is extremely jargon heavy. You basically have to have a Ph.D. in anthropology to understand what the author is saying. I understand that when writing about anthropology for audiences that are familiar with anthropology you have to use the language that goes with it, but I felt that this was unnecessarily jargon heavy, almost for the sake of just being so. That being said, it is a really interesting look at the small mining town cultures in West Virginia.
