Beskrivning

This book examines the systemic and structural nature of social inequalities, focusing on how the urban–rural divide intersects with race, class, gender, ethnicity, and sexuality to shape identities and access to opportunities.It offers valuable insights for sociologists and scholars of inequality seeking to broaden the scope of current research. Ultimately, the authors argue that it will be impossible to build a more just and equitable society without addressing the urban–rural nexus.

Recensioner i media

Inequality at the Urban–Rural Nexus necessarily complicates prevailing understandings of identity—and through it, culture, economy, and politics—via place and time. Critically attending to the rural-urban nexus, this book creatively and expansively addresses both scholarly neglect and political indifference, urgently equipping us with a more nuanced, intersectional, and indeed relational regard for social inequality. I would expect nothing less from scholars who maintain such an innovative and well-respected commitment to how we know "city" and "country."
