Explore how rural communities in Wake County, North Carolina organize themselves around local institutions.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into rural community patterns in Wake County, North Carolina, during the years 1920-1922. The author, a keen social observer, conducted a thorough survey of the county's rural population, meticulously mapping primary social groups and studying their dynamics. Through this extensive research, the author uncovered the existence of various forms of rural social organization, including urban trade towns, retired-farmer villages, farm-operator villages, and open country store-school-church-lodge centers. These social units, while providing essential goods and services, exhibited varying degrees of community cohesion. The book challenges the notion of a geographically defined rural community, demonstrating instead that rural social organization is shaped by a complex interplay of economic, social, educational, and racial factors. It emphasizes the functional and discriminating nature of rural community organization, highlighting the importance of institutional programs in fostering community development. Ultimately, this book offers valuable insights into the nature of rural social organization, providing a nuanced understanding of the diverse ways in which rural communities form, function, and adapt to changing circumstances. Its findings have important implications for rural community development and the promotion of sustainable and equitable rural societies.
