Inequality at the Urban–Rural Nexus necessarily complicates prevailing understandings of identity—and through it, culture, economy, and politics—via place and time. Critically attending to the rural-urban nexus, this book creatively and expansively addresses both scholarly neglect and political indifference, urgently equipping us with a more nuanced, intersectional, and indeed relational regard for social inequality. I would expect nothing less from scholars who maintain such an innovative and well-respected commitment to how we know "city" and "country."
