But is it? Kieran Bonner explores this question by examining the epistemological, political, and ethical issues involved in the claim." "Bonner analyses historical contributions to the urban-rural debate by Karl Marx, Ferdinand Tonnies, Max Weber, Georg Simmel, Louis Wirth, and Robert Redfield, as well as contributions by contemporary theorists such as Ray Pahl, Anthony Giddens, and Peter Berger. He shows how both societal developments and scientific assumptions unwittingly shape the debate, making a distinctive rural culture more and more difficult to identify, and suggests that phenomenology can rescue the urban-rural debate from its conceptual predicament." "Through an analysis of statements by parents in both urban and rural settings, Bonner goes on to point out the limitations of a narrowly scientific approach to research, demonstrating how a more radical interpretive approach that combines phenomenological, hermeneutic, and dialectical analytic methods and theories can further our understanding. He argues convincingly that practical/ethical matters and theoretical assumptions are inextricably intertwined."-- Jacket. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Child rearing|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85023387|xSocial aspects.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh00002758 650 0 Sociology, Rural.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects /sh85124229 650 7 Child rearing|xSocial aspects.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/854622 650 7 Child rearing.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/854588 650 7 Sociology, Rural.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1123947 655 4 Electronic books. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aBonner, Kieran, 1951-|tGreat place to raise kids.|dMontreal ; Buffalo : McGill-Queen's University Press, ©1997|w(DLC) 98157183 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=404251|zOnline eBook.
