Sociology & Anthropology

This book captures the work of some of the most experienced and innovative scholars in race, racism, ethnicity, social policy and geography areas. The New Countryside? reveals the extent and complexities of rural racism and its links to broader discussions of nationhood and the emergence of a rural multi-culture. This book fills the gap in which existing race and ethnicity literature has tended to reflect the wider association of ethnicity and identity with urban landscapes, not rural ones. The book enforces the need for key considerations on political and policy agendas and will be a core text for many courses including social policy, sociology, and geography.
