Masks, Misinformation, and Making Do
Appalachian Health-Care Workers
and the COVID-19 Pandemic

This volume comprises the COVID-19 pandemic experiences of Appalachian health-care workers, including frontline providers, administrators, and educators. The combined narrative reveals how governmental and corporate policies exacerbated the region’s injustices, stymied response efforts, and increased the death toll.

Despite the Appalachian focus, I think anybody paying attention would recognise many of the experiences, written early in this pandemic, when everything was still fresh, and the cloak of denial had yet to descend.

I really appreciated reading this mixture of detailed personal history and academic essay.
