Reviews
This book examines how contemporary rural people shape their collective lives even in difficult circumstances. It tells stories about real, complex rural places, and will be a standard reference for scholars, university students, and community advocates.

Social Transformation in Rural Canada provides a comprehensive understanding of the dynamics and events that have contributed to the present transformation of the Canadian rural sector. The volume clearly stands out from the crowd, introducing a range of valuable perspectives and arguments that will contribute to the development of the field.
