Abstract

CHAPTER 3 ANNABEL KIRSCHNER, E. HELEN BERRY, AND NINA GLASGOW THE STORY WE WANT TO TELL Rural Americans can still be Norwegian bachelor farmers. They can also be Hmong seamstresses, Latino businessmen, Pakistani landlords, and Filipino computer programmers. The Norwegians, meanwhile, are buying radicchio at the co-operated by newly retired women lawyers or organic basil grown by hobby farmers living on 20-acre ranchettes. Nonmetropolitan (nonmetro) places in the st 21 century are very different than they were just 30 years ago. Rural populations have also changed as a significant number of retirees have moved into nonmetro places, while increasing tourism has helped to shift the nature of rural livelihoods. Simultaneously, as young people leave high schools in some rural areas to move to cities, schools and businesses are closing due to a lack of students and customers. In other places, rural schools and hospitals now must provide bilingual teachers and nurses to educate and care for new immigrants’ children. As a result, nonmetro people are now older, more likely to be female, and more ethnically diverse than in the recent past. Why did rural populations transform so dramatically in the latter part th of the 20 century? Partly these
