Episode 7: Representing Rural America Areas of Agreement
-
- Documentary
In this episode, an interview with an author who is part of a cottage industry of books about the political and cultural forces shaping rural America. I asked him why he decided to write about Nebraska, who his audience is and why there seems to be so much fascination among people who live urban areas about the small rural town where he grew up. In part two of this episode, an interview with a rural resident who's heavily involved in Urban-Rural Action about the recent attention paid to rural America and why it can be difficult to engage people from these communities in initiatives that aim to bridge the divide between urban and rural.
