From Todd Snyder, a first generation college student turned college professor, comes a passionate commentary on these themes in a family memoir set in West Virginia coal country. 12 Rounds in Lo's Gym is the story of the author's father, Mike Lo Snyder, a fifth generation West Virginia coal miner who opened a series of makeshift boxing gyms with the goal of providing local at-risk youth with the opportunities that eluded his adolescence. Taking these hardscrabble stories as his starting point, Snyder interweaves a history of the region, offering a smart analysis of the costs - both financial and cultural - of an economy built around extractive industries. Part love letter to Appalachia, part rigorous social critique, readers may find 12 Rounds in Lo's Gym - and its narrative of individual and community strength in the face of globalism's headwinds - a welcome corrective to popular narratives that blame those in the region for their troubles. *60014$aSnyder, Mike$cBokser$d1959-$6(NO-LaBS)754357-2$_30441200 *65007$aBoksing$9nob$2Bokbasen AS$_30441300 *65007$aSosiale problemer$9nob$2Bokbasen AS$_30441400 *651 7$aWest Virginia$2Bokbasen AS$_17589100 *655 7$aBiografisk litteratur$9nob$2Bokbasen AS$_30172300 *7400 $aTwelve rounds in Lo's gym *856 $qimage/jpeg$uhttps://media.boknett.no/objects/66/26/150302666/productimage_ORG_e3db741927159623661494dde94e5810eb392400.jpg ^
