The overlooked Americans : the resilience of our rural towns and what it means for our country / Elizabeth Currid-Halkett.

Currid-Halkett, Elizabeth, 1978- (author.).

Summary:

"In The Overlooked Americans, public policy expert Elizabeth Currid-Halkett breaks through stereotypes about rural America. She traces how small towns are doing as well as, or better than, cities by many measures. She also shows how rural and urban Americans share core values, from opposing racism and upholding environmentalism to believing in democracy. When we focus too heavily on the far-right fringe, we overlook the millions of rural Americans who are content with their lives"-- Provided by publisher.
