Contested Countryside Cultures
This book examines the 'other' side of the countryside, a place also inhabited (and visited) by women, children, teenagers, the elderly, gay men and lesbians, black and ethnic minorities, the unemployed and the poor. These groups have remained largely excluded by both rural policies and the representations of rural culture. The book charts the experiences of these marginalised groups and sets this exploration within the context of postmodern, poststructuralist, postcolonial and late feminist analysis. This theoretical framework reveals how notions of the rural have been created to reflect and reinforce divisions amongst those living in the countryside.

Contested Countryside
An edited series of research papers reflecting the more haphazard nature of rural policy in North America which lacks a unifying national policy. The focus is on experience at the State or Provincial Level with papers concentrating on new policy initiatives which could be usefully applied elsewhere. The book also provides a synopsis of important new developments across the area.
