Synopsis

Life in the steep hills of southern Appalachia has changed more in the last thirty years than in the previous two hundred. Long a region of farmers, burley tobacco, cattle, copious gardens, durable traditions, and hard-working families, it has become a region of retirees, developers, young urban escapees, and new highways. Aware of the transformation, Tim Barnwell set out to document the lives of the people in the land he grew up in. His sensitive portraits, landscapes, and farm scenes, and penetrating oral histories give us an entrée into a life characterized by straightforward joys, hardships, isolation, and independence. It is a way of life we will not see again. It documents people involved in traditional farming practices including depictions of their daily lives, farming activities, religious events, traditional music, and social life. It also includes oral history interviews with the subjects where they share storis of their lives. The Face of Appalachia, a best-selling classic, was originally released in 2003 by W.W. Norton books. It has been out of print for several years but has now been reissued as a Second Edition by Numinous Editions. It has new digital reproductions and features over 100 stunning black and white portrait and landscape photographs reproduced in beautiful duotone printing on the original press in Italy.
