About the Book

The often forgotten rural poor are given voice in this study of five up-state New York counties. Based on years of research and rural activism and on extensive interviews, it sets out to capture the turmoil of life in rural America today - a picture far removed from the glowing stereotypes often glamorized in film and fiction. Janet Fitchen, who also wrote "Poverty in Rural America", finds a rural America under siege. Despite enormous problems - including the farm crisis, broken families, the encroachment of the urban poor and unfamiliar minorities seeking affordable housing, as well as rural land increasingly being targeted as prime territory in which to dump the ills of society, such as hazardous wastes - the author shows how rural people are finding ways to cope, to repair their communities and to incorporate these new elements into their lives. Their story is significant not only in telling us about the capacity of individuals and communities to participate in their own transformation, but as a testimony of hope that the spirit of independence is alive and well in rural America.
