Examines the dynamics that occur between great cities and their hinterlands in order to explain how the tiny village of Gilboa, New York, was destroyed in order to make way for the expansion of the New York City water supply.

Critical Rural Theory provides an exploratory foundation for anyone interested in examining the hegemonic power of urbanization and its impacts on rural people and places. This book is without parallel in the rural sociological literature for its commitment to uncovering the power of culture in addition to structure and space in maintaining urban power.
