Knowing Your Place directs groundbreaking attention to the role of
rural and urban places in identity construction. Written to redress
the longstanding neglect and denigration of the rural, this book
argues that the cultural dominance of the city has been reinforced
by postmodern theory's near fixation on the urban and the
sophisticated.
The essays explore rural identity in a number of cultures and
situations, and look at issues of contemporary interest. Topics
covered include the uses of popular and high culture, the explosion
of high technology, the social and economic impact of ecological
policy, the role of labor in the global marketplace, museum
curatorship, and post-colonial politics. Throughout, the essays
address the many ways in which place identity alters and influences
the experience of race, class, gender and ethnicity.
