When Communities Collapse: Implications for Rural America.
Fitchen, Janet M.
Human Services in the Rural Environment, v10 n4, v11 n1 p48-57 Spr-Sum 1987
The decline of agriculture in the 1920s and 1930s was compounded by the subsequent collapse of the rural social community, leaving the rural poor without a community and thus exacerbating and prolonging their poverty. Present restructuring of agriculture in the United States may have a similar impact on rural communities. (JHZ)
