These events resulted in an untold number of deaths, indictments of over 550 coal miners for insurrection and treason, and four declarations of martial law. Corbin argues that these violent events were collective and militant acts of aggression interconnected and conditioned by decades of oppression. His study goes a long way toward breaking down the old stereotypes of Appalachian and coal mining culture. This second edition contains a new preface and afterword by author David A. Coburn.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Corbin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1940425794\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781940425795\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e West Virginia University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.02lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.72d","brand":"David Corbin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43991230644479,"sku":"9781940425795","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_da52828c-e1e8-4434-a295-e2ab14eea43b.jpg?v=1683309197","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/life-work-and-rebellion-in-david-corbin-9781940425795","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
