- Summary
- "Writers and Miners investigates the vexed political and creative relationship between activists and artists and those they seek to represent. By turning the tables on the writers fascinated with the subject of the miner, Duke shows how these writers' works reveal more about their own aspirations, goals, and prejudices than they ever suspected."--BOOK JACKET.
