Final issue (Volume 3, Number 2) of this important but short-lived radical Appalachian journal, published in the summer of 1974 by Peoples Appalachia/Peoples Appalachian Research Collective and combining grassroots research, documentary photography, political theory, and reports from regional organizing. 8vo (5.5” x 8”), pictorial wrappers, 64 pages, illustrated with b/w photographs. This New Federalist Papers issue is devoted particularly to decentralized forms of political and economic organization, with contributions on community unions, workers' control, cooperatives, class, and libertarian socialism. Bill Taft's “A Libertarian Proposal” draws explicitly upon Murray Bookchin, Peter Kropotkin, Martin Buber, Bakunin, Proudhon and others, placing Appalachian organizing within the broader libertarian and New Left intellectual currents of the period. Other contributors and collective members include Dick Diehl, Roger Lesser, Rick Simon, Bettina Conley, Susan Reverby, Tim Steber, Keith Dix, Carol Fuller, and others. Light bumping and rubbing to extremities. A scarce primary document of 1970s Appalachian radicalism, labor and community organizing, and the American alternative press
