These groups have remained largely excluded by rural policies and the representations of rural culture. The book charts the experiences of these marginalized groups within the context of postmodern, poststructuralist, postcolonial and late feminist analysis, and reveals how notions of the rural have been created to reflect and reinforce divisions amongst those living in the countryside. Contributors include: David Bell, Claire Fisher, Keith Halfacree, Sarah Harper, Annie Hughes, Phil Kinsman, Owain Jones, John Murdoch, Andy Pratt, David Sibley, Gill Valentine. |

| Publisher Description: This book examines the 'other' side of the countryside, a place also inhabited (and visited) by women, children, teenagers, the elderly, gay men and lesbians, black and ethnic minorities, the unemployed and the poor. These groups have remained largely excluded by both rural policies and the representations of rural culture. The book charts the experiences of these marginalised groups and sets this exploration within the context of postmodern, poststructuralist, postcolonial and late feminist analysis. This theoretical framework reveals how notions of the rural have been created to reflect and reinforce divisions amongst those living in the countryside. |
