The division of 'rural' and 'urban' is one of the oldest ideas in
Geography and is deeply engrained in our culture. Throughout
history, the rural has been attributed with many meanings: as a
source of food and energy; as a pristine wilderness, or as a
bucolic idyll; as a playground, or a place of escape; as a fragile
space of nature, in need of protection; and as a primitive place,
in need of modernization. But is the idea of the rural still
relevant today? Rural provides an advanced introduction to the
study of rural places and processes in Geography and related
disciplines. Drawing extensively on the latest research in rural
geography, this book explores the diverse meanings that have been
attached to the rural, examines how ideas of the rural have been
produced and reproduced, and investigates the influence of
different ideas in shaping the social and economic structure of
rural localities and the everyday lives of people who live, work or
play in rural areas. This authoritative book contains case studies
drawn from both the developed and developing world to introduce and
illustrate conceptual ideas and approaches, as well as suggested
further reading. Written in an engaging and lively style, Rural
challenges the reader to think differently about the rural.
