• Sommario/riassunto: In the 1930's and 1940's the US Department of Agriculture undertook detailed studies of 6 US rural communities representing various patterns of social and economic change that were affecting rural America. These studies became classics in the literature on rural communities, and have helped to develop theoretical perspectives in community sociology.
