Or, rather, as Steven Conn argues, "rural America" is a phrase that has been made to mean so many things that it doesn't mean anything. In fact, he maintains, rural America--so often characterized as in crisis or in danger of being left behind--has been shaped by the same major forces as the rest of the country since at least the end of the Civil War: militarization, industrialization, corporatization, and suburbanization. Conn calls for us to dispense with the fantasies and visions that are often imposed on rural America, in the hopes of more productively addressing the real challenges facing all of America"-- $c Provided by publisher. 651 0 $a United States $x Rural conditions. 651 0 $a United States $x Social conditions. 650 0 $a Social history. 650 0 $a History. 651 6 $a EÌtats-Unis $x Conditions sociales. 650 6 $a Histoire sociale. 650 6 $a Histoire. 650 7 $a social history. $2 aat 650 7 $a history (discipline) $2 aat 650 7 $a Rural conditions $2 fast 650 7 $a Social conditions $2 fast 651 7 $a United States $2 fast 655 7 $a local histories. $2 aat 655 7 $a Local histories. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Histoires locales. $2 rvmgf 941 $a 2 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20240206010610.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20240201010252.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=95FBF084C0CF11EE81BF3A115DECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b JIDInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
