Abstract:
Despite Rural Sociology’s long history of publishing rigorous research about rurality, one notable area for improvement is attention to race and racial issues. As Tieken and Wright argue, this special issue is an important first step toward expanding the journal’s scope and reckoning with its historical failings. This issue introduction summarizes the critical insights the issue’s articles offer the field at this pivotal moment of racial awareness and demographic change. The authors end with a call for emancipatory scholarship—that is, research that reflects the lived experiences of all rural residents and can be used to dismantle racist policies and practices.
Keywords:
Rurality; racial awareness; demographic; racist policies
