Writing Off Rural Communities: Globalization, Governments and the Tranformation of Rural Life

By Dave Whitson and Roger Epp

Book Overview

Some of the most intense effects of globalization can be seen in rural communities. Despite a booming world economy, rural communities-and the people who work in natural-resource industries like farming, forestry, mining or fishing-have been hard hit by recent international trade agreements. This collection looks at changing rural life, across the country and around the globe.
