Rural Change in Australia: Population, Economy, Environment. by Rae Dufty-Jones and John Connell
This book provides a contemporary perspective on rapidly evolving population, economic and environmental changes in 'rural and regional Australia', itself a significant concept. Bringing together a range of empirical studies, the book builds on established rural studies themes such as population change, economic restructuring and globalization in agriculture but links such changes to environmental change, culture, class, gender, and ethnic diversity. Presenting original and in-depth interventions on these issues and their intersections, this book assembles the best of contemporary research on rural Australia.

Praise for this book
'The rural is often imagined as a timeless and unchanging space. However, as this collection's rich case studies demonstrate, in recent decades non-metropolitan Australia has been radically reconfigured. Through detailed and insightful empirical explorations contributors not only interrogate the nature and implications of rural change, but also contribute to broader theoretical debates about the meaning and efficacy of the term rurality.' Barbara Pini, Griffith University, Brisbane, Australia 'A rich insight into contemporary rural and regional Australia, with well-informed contributions examining the challenges of economic restructuring, demographic change, migration and resource pressures that confront country areas. An invaluable collection for anyone interested in rural change in Australia and beyond.' Michael Woods, Aberystwyth University, UK
