Abstract

During the last six decades, rural America has changed in significant ways (Lobao & Meyer, 2001). Whereas many of these changes have been structural in nature-relating to economic changes and demographic shifts-others have been rhetorical, relating to how rural people, places, and contributions are viewed by the nation as a whole (Cook & Beck, 1991; Foster & Hummerl, 1997).
