520    A familiar story holds that modernization radiates out 
       from metropolitan origins. The whole machinery explores 
       representations of people and places, objects and 
       occasions, that reverse that trajectory, demonstrating how
       modernizing agents move in a contrary direction as well--
       from the country to city. In a crucial reversal, these 
       figures aren't pulled by or into urban modernity so much 
       as they bring alternate--and transformative--iterations of
       the modern to the urban world. This book upends the U.S. 
       South's reputation as retrograde and unresponsive to 
       modernity by showing how the effects of national and 
       transnational exchange (particularly via the cotton trade),
       emergent technologies, and industrialization animate 
       environments and bodies associated with, or performing, 
       versions of the rural. To this end, it also searches out 
       the shadow side of the cosmopolitan modern by 
       investigating the rural sources--the laboring bodies and 
       raw materials--that made such urban spaces possible. The 
       whole machinery explores a range of canonical and 
       noncanonical figures: Paul Laurence Dunbar, Frances E.W. 
       Harper, W.E.B. Du Bois, Allen Tate, Don West, the authors 
       of the Southern Tenant Farmers' Union pamphlet The 
       Disinherited Speak, Charlie Poole, and Zora Neale Hurston 
       among them. It uncovers signs of the rural modern in a 
       variety of texts and media, including narrative fiction 
       and poetry, as well as photographs, sound recordings, 
       radio broadcasts, letters, newspaper reports, and magazine
       profiles. These readings convey diverse and individuated 
       desires for escape or entrenchment, often in the same 
       conflicted voice, ultimately creating multivalent 
       expressions and experiences of rurality that are, in their
       way, as thoroughly modern as those of more widely 
       canonized urban figures.
