Summary As locals leave traditional rural lives for jobs in cities, they are replaced by a variety of incomers, including neo-hippies, lifestyle-seekers, eco-activists and rural labour migrants from beyond the EU. This book provides a fresh anthropological look at a central but neglected topic, the profound changes in rural life throughout Western Europe today.
