Appalachia is a creature of the urban imagination. The folk culture, the depressed area, the romantic wilderness, the Appalachia of fiction, journalism, and public policy, have for more than a century been created … by the economic opportunism, political creativity, or passing fancy of urban elites” (1)
Allen Batteau

Exotic & strange
“I plan to live for a year among the Masai tribesmen of Africa, who grow seven feet tall and drink blood from the necks of cows.” (22)

Pre-existing Ideology
“Every stereotype emerges in the wake of a pre-existing ideology which deforms it, appropriates it and naturalizes it….the stereotype sends its message __ which is automatically absorbed by the viewer/reader, and which replaces history”
(Diawara, 9)

“Many students filter accurate information through their inaccurate stereotypes, thus making my teaching less effective than I would like.” (Keim, xi).

Yulisa Amadu MaddyDonnarae MacCann
“…Books for children instill [a damaged image of Africa] at the earliest stage of life – the time when it can become deeply embedded in consciousness.” (Maddy and MacCann, 4).
“The books themselves are one part of the problem, but the larger issue concerns the professional network that…. showers them with honors and thereby promotes their wide circulation (3)
