Social Isolation of the Urban Poor: Race, Class, and Neighborhood Effects on Social Resources
We focus on the effects of race, class, and neighborhood on social isolation. Using data from households in Atlanta, Georgia, we compare poor and nonpoor African Americans to nonpoor whites on two types of social ties and the social resources inherent in those ties. We find that poverty has an important influence on the social resources available to African Americans in and outside of their household. Poor blacks are less likely than other blacks…

Social Change and the Experience of Unemployment
The single most important change in the British labour market over the last two decades has been the re-emergence of mass unemployment. This study focuses on six areas: Aberdeen, Kirkcaldy, Rochdale, Coventry, Northampton, and Swindon, and investigates the effect of being unemployed on individuals' attitudes to work, their social relationships, and their psychological health. It breaks entirely new ground, using large-scale surveys that allow dir…
Local Dependency, Land Use Attitudes, and Economic Development: Comparisons between Seasonal and Permanent Residents1
For many rural communities in the United States, tourists and retirees make a major contribution to the local economy. The role of recreational home ownership in these communities is not well understood. We examine the attitudes toward land use controls and local economic development among seasonal and permanent residents. We compare growth machine and local dependency theory explanations for support of land use controls and growth activities. Ba…
Forest dependence and community well‐being: A segmented market approach
Forestry activities, such as timber production and processing, are important economic activities in many rural communities. Yet the research on the relationship between forest dependence and community economic well‐being is inconclusive. This article examines the relationship between forest dependence and county per capita income and poverty in rural Georgia. Forest dependence is conceptualized according to Averitt's theory of the dual economy. C…

Small Business Success Among Men- and Women-Owned Firms in Rural Areas1
Rural women have difficulty finding good jobs. Ownership of small businesses offers an alternative but the sales and income of women-owned firms are significantly lower than those of men-owned firms. Compared with men, women owners are more likely to operate smaller and newer businesses; however, these differences do not completely account for the gap in gross sales between men- and women-owned businesses. The strongest influences on business suc…

What's a City to Do? Explaining Differences in Local Economic Development Policies

Promoting Economic Development: A Comparison of Central Cities, Suburbs, and Nonmetropolitan Communities
The authors use survey and census data to compare the economic development policies of central cities, suburbs, and nonmetropolitan communities. Regional competition is strongly associated with the number of development programs adopted by all three types of communities, but several important differences exist among them. Central-city governments are most active in promoting development, with population size exerting a positive influence on devel…
Rural economic development through local self-development strategies
Organizing Local Agencies to Promote Economic Development
Significant changes over the past two decades have intensified efforts by American cities to promote economic development. Yet, researchers and policymakers generally have ignored the extent to which communities differ in their economic development strategies. This article extends previous research with an examination of the variation in the way cities organize their bureaucracies to promote economic development. Findings indicate that larger cit…

Class and Class Interests in Agriculture: Support for New Deal Farm Programs Among Tobacco Producers
Most sociological studies classify all farmers in a single category, usually the petty bourgeoisie or “middle class.” Recent studies, however, have criticized this view and have demonstrated how factors such as land, capital, labor, and management differentiate agricultural producers. Further, Mooney argues that the subjective elements of the class structure of agriculture have been ignored. This article examines the subjective and objective elem…

Agricultural Production and Capitalism: The Structured and Expressive Orientations1
This paper argues that the debates in the sociology of agriculture concerning the viability of family farms and related public policy issues can be understood by examining the fundamental assumptions of two different approaches to understanding the totality of society: the expressive and structured orientations. The different orientations to totality provide two distinct formulations of the relationship of agricultural sector to the wider society…
The Mann-dickinson Thesis: Reject or Revise
Despite playing an important role in an emerging area within American Rural Sociology, only recently has the Mann and Dickinson thesis received an empirical test (Mooney, 1983). Although thought to have failed its first test, it is argued that conceptual ambiguities in the initial formulation of the thesis misled Mooney's empirical critique and rendered his conclusions invalid. Specifically, labor time is disentangled from working period, which a…
