"This collection is an essential addition to any rural scholar s
library and will be a critical resource for both established rural
scholars and rising graduate students interested in rural research
topics." Peter B. Nelson, Middlebury College"The Handbook of Rural
Studies is a tour de force on changing rural people and places in a
rapidly urbanizing global economy -- the most comprehensive
interdisciplinary treatment of 'rural' available anywhere. This is
absolutely must reading for social scientists concerned about
finding a prominent place for 'rural' in scholarly discourse,
institutional analysis, and public policy debates on the political
economy of space." Daniel T. Lichter, Cornell University
The Handbook of Rural Studiesrepresents the vitality and
theoretical innovation at work in rural studies. It shows how
political economy and the "cultural turn" have led to very
significant new thinking in the cultural representations of:
rurality; nature; sustainability; new economies; power and
rurality; new consumerism; and exclusion and rurality.
It is organized in three sections: approaches to rural studies;
rural research: key theoretical co-ordinates and new rural
relations.
In a rich and textured discussion, the Handbook of Rural Studies
explains the key moments in which the theorization of culture,
nature, politics, agency, and space in rural contexts have
transmitted ideas back into wider social science."
