Urbanormativity examines the reality, representation, and consequences of living amid a cultural ideology that privileges urban over rural people and communities. The book analyzes and challenges the complex processes that work to devalue the rural and advocates for a rural justice ethic that reverses the present course.

This book investigates urbanormativity—a concept that privileges urban normalcy and desirability over rural deviance and undesirability. The “reality” section outlines its foundations—urbanization, urban-rural systems, and urban dependency. The “representation” section explores urbanormative culture by considering cultural capital, media, and identity. The last section, “everyday life,” examines urban-rural disparities in law and politics and in life within different communities. It concludes by calling for a rural justice approach that will revalue the rural.
