429 Annals Am. Acad. Pol. & Soc. Sci. vii (1977)

handle is hein.cow/anamacp0429 and id is 1 raw text is: PREFACE The almost awesome growth of metropolitan areas in this century has often diverted attention from small towns and rural areas. In the 1960s, for example, the problems associated with rapid urban growth drew significant research attention and discussion in both the professional and the popular media. To the extent that rural areas were examined, they were often done so as the residual of urban studies. Even the title, The People Left Behind, of the President's Commission on Rural Poverty conveyed the impression that rural America was an anachronism in a rapidly industrializing and modern- izing society. Such a perspective did much to lend credence to one sociolo- gist's comment that rural America is like a fished out pond, full of bullheads and suckers. In recent years, however, there has been an increasing recognition among researchers and popular commentators that rural America is alive and generally doing well. Exactly how well, and what we can expect for the future, is the subject of this series of papers. FRANK CLEMENTE vii
