Book Review

The Tennessee-Virginia Tri-Cities: Urbanization in Appalachia, 1900–1950. By Tom Lee. (Knoxville: University of Tennessee Press, 2005. xvi, 342 pp. $42.00, ISBN 1-57233-334-0.)

Until recently the term "urban Appalachians" typically referred to one-time residents of the region who out-migrated to urban centers in the Midwest and North in the middle decades of the twentieth century. Tom Lee's The Tennessee-Virginia Tri-Cities is one of several recent indicators that scholars are finally beginning to acknowledge and systematically analyze urbanization within geographical Appalachia. Lee's refined University of Tennessee dissertation utilizes archival sources, newspapers, and memoirs to draw insights from three decades of Appalachian studies scholarship and offer rarely considered insights into a region that is more complex and dynamic than often assumed; students of urbanization and modernization will also find this book informative.
