The Expansion of Rural Life (Classic Reprint): The Social Psychology of Rural Development - Softcover
Synopsis
Rural Revolutions shows how everyday life, institutions, and networks reshaped farming communities from 1880 to 1930.
This accessible study examines how rural life transformed as villages grew, markets organized, and cooperation spread, offering a clear picture of a nation in transition. In this disciplined, descriptive work, the author uses detailed case studies from New York and other regions to explain how farmers adapted to new markets, technology, and social change. The book analyzes the rise of statewide farming groups, cooperative marketing, and the role of local newspapers in shaping community life, while also reflecting on the methods social scientists use to understand rural development.

- Explore the shift from small-scale, individual farming to more standardized practices
- Learn how newspapers and local institutions recorded and reflected social change

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. In this early 20th-century sociological study, the author surveys the social and economic changes in a rural New York community from the mid-19th century to the early 20th century. The author traces the changes in rural culture from the period when rural values dominated social attitudes to the period when rural villages grew in importance, bringing a new emphasis on individualism, economic competition, and social rivalry. The author provides rich detail on the changing values and behaviors within the rural community, such as the move away from a predominant focus on nature towards a greater concern with social status and material wealth. The author's insights provide valuable context for understanding the evolution of rural American culture and its far-reaching impact on the nation's social and economic development.
