Reviews123 In Homeplaces Williams demonstrates the value of oral history in unraveling the complex interrelationships of house plan with social use. The periodic disjunctions between plan and use that she found in southern Appalachia sound a cautionary note for those who seek to deduce cultural traits from mute artifacts. Williams has also painted a powerful and poignant portrait of a departed social milieu, and of the symbolic importance of the old homeplace to a generation of living memory.
