Description

Explore the shifting landscape of the rural Midwest with this academic collection from Routledge. As the region faces fundamental changes, this book examines the complex transitions affecting local communities. It looks at how increased competition from foreign agriculture and the shift from manufacturing to service industries impact the local economy. This text provides a deep look into the displacement of small town businesses by large discount stores and malls. It also addresses the challenges of population decline that threaten essential public institutions like schools and hospitals. By utilizing data from the 2000 Census, the book analyzes major demographic and employment trends to provide a clear picture of the social and economic shifts occurring in these areas. Whether you are studying sociology, anthropology, or regional development, this collection offers a detailed examination of the demographic changes and the social strife that can arise from an influx of minority groups in changing communities. It serves as a vital resource for understanding the modern reality of the American Midwest.
