What happens to rural communities when their traditional economic
base collapses? When new money comes in, who gets left behind?
Pushed Out offers a rich portrait of Dover, Idaho, whose
transformation from "thriving timber mill town" to "economically
depressed small town" to "trendy second-home location" over the
past four decades embodies the story and challenges of many other
rural communities. Sociologist Ryanne Pilgeram explores the
structural forces driving rural gentrification and examines how
social and environmental inequality are written onto these
landscapes. Based on in-depth interviews and archival data, she
grounds this highly readable ethnography in a long view of the
region that takes account of geological history, settler
colonialism, and histories of power and exploitation within
capitalism. Pilgeram's analysis reveals the processes and
mechanisms that make such communities vulnerable to gentrification
and points the way to a radical justice that prioritizes the
economic, social, and environmental sustainability necessary to
restore these communities.
