Description and Table of Contents
Description
This text explores what it means to be "rural" in late modernity. It looks at contemporary social theorizing which contain fundamental implications for the rural. Topics covered include rural social movements, contested themes in forest management, ecologically innovative agriculture and rural survival practices. The papers presented here are only a small number of themes presented at a conference on "How to be rural" held in August 1999 by the European Society for Rural Sociology. The book covers a wide geographical spread, from South Africa to Australia and from EU member states to the countries "in transition" of Central and Eastern Europe. The focus is on the distinctive ways in which rural social, economic and cultural life is experienced, in relatively developed societies in late modernity.
