1924 Recommended Books List of PMSS<\/h2>\n\n\n

NOTES MAY 1924<\/strong><\/p>\n

Published in the May 1924, Pine Mountain Settlement School Notes<\/em> provided a partially annotated list intended to direct readers to resources for information about the Southern Highlands region and the folk-songs and dance literature available about\u00a0 the region. It also serves to inform readers today of the books that were favored as\u00a0 “official” records of life in the Southern Appalachian mountains. The list-maker is careful to point out that the list does not favor any one point of view or “angle.”<\/p>\n

Today, the list is also a record that helps the researcher understand what literature was influencing the School in 1924. Most of the selections on the list remain classics about the region but some have fallen out of favor as history re-adjusts its lense.<\/p>\n

Kathleen M. Blee and Dwight B, Billings remind us in their article “Reconstructing Daily Life in the Past: An Hermeneutical Approach to Ethnographic Data,” in the Sociological Quarterly<\/em>, v.27 n4 (December 1986): 443-462, that sociohistorical data can only capture a small piece of the past as it is often low in data but high in social practice. The authors suggest that by using hermeneutical model scholars may be able to reconstruct some of this “past lifeworld” but even using this method, analysis of history and especially its texts continues to fall short of the “whole subject.” Somehow I thought we already knew that but it is important to remind us so we don’t repeat that search for the “whole subject.”<\/p>\n

THE ARTICLE in “Notes”\u00a0 —<\/strong><\/p>\n

“For those who wish to inform themselves on the whole subject of the Southern Highlands, we print a list of books written from different angles. “The Southern Highlander and His Homeland ” stands out as a thorough, reasoned, scholarly study of ……<\/p>\n
