Recommended By: Rural Development Initiatives - RDITo Acquire Contact: Amazon, Barnes and Noble Notes: Referred by Jan Flora regarding farm bankruptcy. "The farm crisis of the 1980s was the worst economic disaster to strike rural America since the Depression--thousands of farmers lost their land and homes, irrevocably altering their communities and, as Kathryn Marie Dudley shows, giving rise to devastating social trauma that continues to affect farmers today. Through interviews with residents of an agricultural county in western Minnesota, Dudley provides an incisive account of the moral dynamics of loss, dislocation, capitalism, and solidarity in farming communities."
