Beautiful but jaded Eustacia Vye hates rural life on Egdon Heath, despite her ability to attract all of its male inhabitants. Rural life undermined hierarchies of age and gender, fostered family interdependence, and produced children who were more self-reliant, mobile, adaptable, responsible, and fiercely independent than their urban or eastern counterparts, not to mention more in touch with nature. Although the chapters are somewhat uneven, the book addresses many interesting issues such as welfare reform in rural communities; the role of telecommunications technologies in rural social work; the role of nonprofit organizations; community building and the unique ethical challenges posed by rural life. |
