More about the book

Exploring the contemporary rural condition, the narrative delves into a small Minnesota community's struggle to maintain its identity amid globalization. It highlights the residents' efforts to redefine their roles and emphasizes the importance of rural literacies. The story conveys a message of hope, challenging the inevitability of neoliberalism and the decline of rural America. It illustrates that not all aspects of life are commodifiable and advocates for disidentification from prevailing societal norms within a participatory democracy.
