About this book
In a comprehensive interdisciplinary analysis that extends from the Civil War to the present, this book seeks to isolate the underlying causes of persistent rural poverty.

Reviews
Tom Rudel, Rutgers University:
Rural Poverty in the United States provides the most comprehensive analysis in decades of living conditions among poor people in rural America. It is a superb example of ‘actionable social science.’

Linda Lobao, The Ohio State University:
This book covers the historical development of rural poverty research and policy, brings together the core theoretical literature, and addresses significant substantive issues including food insecurity, race, migration, and housing. The breadth is remarkable. No other volume exists today that draws the literature together so comprehensively and engagingly.
