Pre-Owned Forgotten Places (PB) (Paperback) 0700605932 9780700605934

In these essays, the authors focus on problems that keep the regions of northern New England, the Lower Rio Grande Valley, the Delta, Appalachia, the southern Black belt, the "flannel shirt frontier" of Oregon, the Ozarks, the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and rural California below the national average in income and standard-of-living surveys. High illiteracy, lack of industry and capital, and inability to influence government policy have too often perpetuated a vicious circle of poverty for many people in forgotten places.
