Written to redress the longstanding neglect and denigration of the rural, this book argues that the cultural dominance of the city has been reinforced by postmodern theory's near fixation on the urban and the sophisticated. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The essays explore rural identity in a number of cultures and situations, and look at issues of contemporary interest. Topics covered include the uses of popular and high culture, the explosion of high technology, the social and economic impact of ecological policy, the role of labor in the global marketplace, museum curatorship, and post-colonial politics. Throughout, the essays address the many ways in which place identity alters and influences the experience of race, class, gender and ethnicity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Barbara Ching\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415915449\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415915441\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/13\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 286\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.28h x 6.30w x 0.87d","brand":"Barbara Ching","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086666051839,"sku":"9780415915441","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9f88120a-1543-419e-b3b3-d076d61d50b4.jpg?v=1769095904","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/knowing-your-place-barbara-ching-9780415915441","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
