Trade Paperback. Condition: Good. No Stock Photos! We photograph every item. spine creasing, edge wear; Rural America as a place and a way of life is undergoing major transformation. The farm crisis and the decline of manufacturing dealt a double blow in the 1980s to rural communities, which continue to lose farms, factories, and young people. Rural lands are increasingly being sought as places for vacation homes, state prisons, and waste dumps. Rural people are ambivalent about new residents and activities and unsure of their own rural identity. Old assumptions about rural life are now open to question. Based on years of field observations and hundreds of interviews in fifteen rural counties in upstate New York, Fitchens book explores these changes. It describes the financial stress on dairy farmers and their efforts to hold onto their farms. It records the disbelief and difficult adjustment of rural factory workers and communities as local plants shut down. The author chronicles the struggles of communities plagued by toxic chemicals in their drinking water and of young families slipping further into poverty. She reports on communities campaigning to win a state prison and others protesting a proposed radioactive waste dump. The book illustrates the persistence of rural ingenuity and determination but argues that a well-informed federal and state commitment is also necessary. With appropriate policies and programs, most rural communities could adapt creatively to the changes, integrate around a new rural identity, and survive into the twenty-first century as enduring social settings for their residents.

Interior has two minor marks: Prior owners name on front fep; and a single paragraph underline to text on page 190: ". . . City people are moving in. They're welcome as long as they don't try to change things here to make it like where they came from. For example, they want the poor residents to get tidied up, get rid of the junk cars in their yards. A few of these city people want me to enforce ordinances-or want new ones. And many of them want zoning. I'm very against it. People in rural areas need to be unrestricted. For example, someone might need to open up a little hair shop." (From an interview with a county official).
