The Little Cities of Black Diamonds area of Appa­ lachian Ohio was settled largely by coal miners and their families after the American Civil War. Drawn by the possibility of work, miners built lives and solidarities supported by an industry that largely abandoned the region by the begin­ ning of the twentieth century. The inequality and structures of indebtedness that sustained min­ ing communities also fostered the seeds of a labor movement; the latter is now celebrated by civic revitalization efforts in the few remaining towns, where the built environment is partially in ruins and the populations have dwindled (Tribe 1988). Today, despite a lack of formal employment oppor­ tunities and relatively high poverty rates, much work is being done with the region’s past of resource extraction, labor, and urbanism. This work takes shape in things such as festival production, build­ ing renovation, archival investigations, and envi­ ronmental remediation—manifestations of care for the welfare of a place whose rich past is shaped South Atlantic Quarterly

感官协调：在黑钻石小城市中与过去一起工作

美国内战后，俄亥俄州阿帕拉契亚地区的黑钻石小城市主要由煤矿工人及其家人定居。受工作可能性的吸引，矿工们在一个在 20 世纪初基本上已经放弃该地区的行业的支持下建立了生活和团结。维持采矿社区的不平等和债务结构也助长了劳工运动的种子；后者现在通过在少数剩余城镇的公民振兴努力来庆祝，这些城镇的建成环境部分已成废墟，人口已经减少（Tribe 1988）。今天，尽管缺乏正式的就业机会和相对较高的贫困率，但该地区过去的资源开采、劳动力和城市化方面的工作仍在进行中。
