You're Not from Around Here: Photographs of East Tennessee

Santa Fe / Staunton: Center for America, 2004.

Oblong format, hardback. 108 pages. Full-page color photographs throughout. Pictorial dust-jacket, nearly new. In trying to gain entry to the interior, private world of Southern Appalachia virtually forgotten by the rest of America, photographer Mike Smith would often hear, upon knocking at a door, "You're not from around here." Despite his "outsider" status, Smith, through these beautiful photographs, allows us a rare and intimate glimpse of this unique region of America.
