Review
"Reflecting a resurgence of interest in rural poverty, this collection offers an examination of rural areas that are lagging behind the rest of the country in terms of quality of life and standard of living. The chapters are well written and the editors provide an excellent introduction and summary."--Choice
"A welcome and much-needed addition to the literature on spatial inequality."--Journal of American History
"In spite of a quarter century of serious effort to eliminate, or at least reduce, rural poverty, pockets of intense poverty still exist. If you want to know why this is so, Forgotten Places will provide many insightful and thought provoking answers."--Gene Summers, author of Technology and Social Change in Rural Areas
"A welcome, readable analysis of rural poverty in key regions across the country. A major contribution to rural sociology."--John Gaventa, author of Power and Powerlessness: Quiescence and Rebellion in an Appalachian Valley
