Appalachia is a region riddled with many forms of poverty amidst family legacies of struggle, survival, or success. Communication researchers are interested in how communication through storytelling is related to these various legacies, with hopes of someday influencing more family legacies of success and less struggle. Employing interviews with ten pairs of mothers and daughters as well as my autoethnographic writing, I explored women’s role in family storytelling to influence family legacies. In addition to sharing stories, sequestering stories emerged as a major theme working to foster and disrupt family legacies. I have also discussed the findings, their implications, and future areas of study. |
