Contents : 1. What is Rural? I. Structure: 2. Rural Political Economy. 3. Rural Space. II. Space: 4. Structuration in the Catskills. 5. Space and Simulacra. III. Culture: 6. Rural Representations. 7. Urbanormativity. 8. Structure, Space, and Culture.

The experience of social space produces cultural dynamics that are reproduced from generation to generation. These mechanisms are explored through popular culture, physical patterns of urban expansion, and historical patterns of social change. (jacket).…
