A valuable piece of activist scholarship that will make significant contributions to Appalachian and environmental studies--both today and as a historical document long into the future.

--Brian J. Burke, associate professor of sustainable development at Appalachian State University

Toward Just Transitions lends broad perspectives to the important dialogue on how to move Appalachia from an extractive to a regenerative economy. This collection raises questions about a range of social and environmental factors that must be considered in such a transition, while emphasizing local community engagement in the process.
