- This book is based on ethnographic research, consisting of in-depth interviews, participant observations and direct observations over a 14-month period. The book took two and a half years to write and builds on the work around rural othering. Specifically, the book is a holistic look at how a ‘host’ rural community enacted informal social control to maintain and protect their specific rural identity. In terms of content, this monograph could have been published as a series of stand-alone articles. The book manages to draw global-local connections between rurality and wider national (and global) resistances towards difference and diversification.
