Reviews

“In this excellent collection for rural development scholars, practitioners, and policymakers, contributors focus on issues such as climate change, neoliberal social and economic policies, economic globalization, restructuring and de-industrialization, population ageing and outmigration, food security, and sovereignty.” Ataharul Chowdhury, School of Environmental Design and Rural Development, University of Guelph

“The Right to Be Rural is a formidable beginning to problematizing and unpacking rural life, creating a better understanding of the challenges and opportunities that lie before rural citizens. International scholars spell out meaningful strategies to stem the tide of community loss as they look at issues of digital citizenship, housing, and resources in Canada, Denmark, Ethiopia, Finland, India, Poland, and Zimbabwe.” Fabrizio Antonelli, Mount Allison University
