Description

Explore a rare sociological perspective on rural life with this ethnographic study by Routledge. While studies of poor, native-born, non-ethnic white populations in rural areas are uncommon, this book provides a detailed look at a specific heartland community known as "Potter Addition." Located on the rural-urban fringe of a medium-sized Midwestern city, this study focuses on a community of approximately 100 families. The narrative follows three generations of rural families as they face the reality of being driven from their land over the last seventy-five years. This work offers a deep look into the social structures of kinship and family dynamics within a changing economic landscape. Ideal for students and professionals in anthropology and sociology, this book fills a significant gap in existing research. It provides a grounded account of how poverty and land loss affect family stability and community connections in the American Midwest.
