"The Country and the City" by Raymond Williams. Essay Review.
Johnson, Jerry D.; Howley, Craig B.
Journal of Research in Rural Education, v16 n2 p146-51 Fall 2000
Reviews essays by Raymond Williams, which explain how, within the context of a 150-year literary history, rural stereotypes have been constructed and imbedded within a collective consciousness by a form of cultural colonization. Suggests that Williams' insights can help rural education researchers think outside the conventional wisdom that confines their investigations to a canon of trite preoccupations. (TD)
