Forthcoming in 2023 with Lexington Press of Rowman & Littlefield in their Studies in Urban-Rural Dynamics series: Making and Breaking Big Rural: Single Sector Economies, Democracy, and What Next.
Making and Breaking Big Rural reconceptualizes the economic sectors we take for granted in the 21st Century United States, especially those in single sector rural regions. It analyzes these as large technical systems in order to reveal their developments as deliberate interventions that can be dissected, dismantled, and replaced. Part I examines the historical making of the rural industrial space, or “big rural” and this space’s brittleness as a system, how this system breaks and under what duress, and how big rural may be dismantled. Part II, given hindsight, enters into the remaking of this big rural space from various paths–policy, planning, practice, research. |
