Studies in UrbanRural Dynamics Inequality at the Nexus

This book adds a crucial dimension to our understanding of social inequality, shedding welcome light on a long-neglected component of identity and society which has in recent years become increasingly visible and central in the current social and political climate of the United States and beyond. This book examines the systemic and structural nature of social inequalities, focusing on how the urban–rural divide intersects with race, class, gender, ethnicity, and sexuality to shape identities and access to opportunities.It offers valuable insights for sociologists and scholars of inequality seeking to broaden the scope of current research. Ultimately, the authors argue that it will be impossible to build a more just and equitable society without addressing the urban–rural nexus.
