  • Appalachia is a geographical area in the Eastern United States which includes those states that have the Appalachian mountain range in them. The people there are largely white, poor, and relatively uneducated. As a consequence of a marginal economic base, many have migrated to urban centers such as Columbus and Cleveland, Ohio; Detroit, Michigan; and Chicago, Illinois. There they tend to live in certain residential areas, as do poor blacks in the urban North. In short, both groups, white and black, are presently ghettoized.
  • This whole area is now being more widely researched as a part of developmental socio- and psycholinguistics.
