Theobald, Paul
Journal of Research in Rural Education, v10 n2 p131-33 Fall 1994
Reviews a book that overviews the history of rural England and the factors that contributed to the decline of England's rural communities. One hundred years later in rural America, similar factors and pervasive cultural assumptions about rural ignorance are related to the shifting of political and economic power away from rural communities.
