Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book delves into the unique dynamics of Barrett Township, a rural resort community nestled amidst the scenic Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania. The author meticulously examines the impact of the burgeoning resort industry on the lives of permanent residents during the early 1940s, a time of significant social and economic transformation in America. Through detailed analysis of occupational patterns, social participation, and community attitudes, the book sheds light on the complex interplay between the traditional rural lifestyle and the influx of tourism and leisure activities. It explores themes of economic dependence, social integration, and community identity, revealing how residents navigate the challenges and opportunities presented by the resort industry. The study delves into issues of employment, access to services, and the influence of seasonal visitors on local customs and traditions. By contrasting the perspectives of different social groups within the community, including farmers, skilled workers, and service industry employees, the book provides a nuanced understanding of how the resort's presence shapes individual experiences and collective perceptions of community life. Ultimately, this book offers valuable insights into the evolving nature of rural communities in the face of economic change, highlighting the enduring importance of social cohesion and local agency in shaping the future of these unique places. 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.
