Just to piggy back off of this, I want to recommend a really wonderful book called What You're Getting Wrong About Appalachia by Elizabeth Catte

It's an introduction to the region, its history and culture, and its highly extractive relationship to the rest of the United States.

There's also a whole chapter dedicated to ripping JD Vance's Hillbilly Elegy to shreds, which is incredibly satisfying
