Brings together empirical and theoretical studies that consider the intersections of class, gender and rurality. This book responds to calls for more critical work on the rural 'other'. It places the question of gender, rurality and difference at its centre through its focus on class.

The new rural economy involves a fundamental shift in the stability and security of people's lives and ultimately causes wrenching change and an arduous struggle as rural dwellers struggle to rebuild their lives in the new economic terrain.
