Rural Organisation (Classic Reprint): A Study of Primary Groups in Wake County, N. C: A Study of Primary Groups in Wake County, N. C (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Explore how rural communities in Wake County, North Carolina organize themselves around local institutions. This study documents the formation of primary population groups, the central role of schools, churches, and other community centers, and how these groups coordinate to meet daily needs and guide development.
Based on a multi-year survey, the book traces the rise of neighborhood-based groups, discusses how geography and institutions shape social life, and explains why coordinated primary groups can better serve rural communities than impersonal, outside-led systems.
- How primary groups are defined, identified, and measured in a rural setting
- The school district as a key organizing unit and its influence on community life
- The emergence of farm loans, credit unions, and cooperative marketing as new forms of local organization
- Benefits and challenges of coordinating nearby groups to sustain social and economic life
Ideal for readers interested in rural sociology, community development, and American agricultural history.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into rural community patterns in Wake County, North Carolina, during the years 1920-1922. The author, a keen social observer, conducted a thorough survey of the county's rural population, meticulously mapping primary social groups and studying their dynamics. Through this extensive research, the author uncovered the existence of various forms of rural social organization, including urban trade towns, retired-farmer villages, farm-operator villages, and open country store-school-church-lodge centers. These social units, while providing essential goods and services, exhibited varying degrees of community cohesion. The book challenges the notion of a geographically defined rural community, demonstrating instead that rural social organization is shaped by a complex interplay of economic, social, educational, and racial factors. It emphasizes the functional and discriminating nature of rural community organization, highlighting the importance of institutional programs in fostering community development. Ultimately, this book offers valuable insights into the nature of rural social organization, providing a nuanced understanding of the diverse ways in which rural communities form, function, and adapt to changing circumstances. Its findings have important implications for rural community development and the promotion of sustainable and equitable rural societies. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781331919049_0
