This timely, needed volume focuses on poor, rural people in poor, rural settings. Rural poverty is not confined to one section of the country or to one ethnic group. It is a national problem and the resolution of hidden America's persistent economic plight will now depend on a better understanding of who is poor and why.

It addresses the special problems of those who, although in relatively prosperous rural areas, live at or below the poverty level.
