Exploring the contemporary rural condition, this book highlights the struggles and resilience of a small Minnesota community at the turn of the 21st century. It examines how residents navigate globalization while redefining their identities and sustaining rural life. The narrative emphasizes the potential for hope, illustrating that neoliberalism and the decline of rural America are not unavoidable. It advocates for the idea that some values transcend market forces and encourages disidentification from prevailing societal norms within a participatory democracy.
