Worlds Apart
The classic study of rural poverty in America that resonates today
“A must-read for anyone seeking to understand the root causes of inequality in America.”—Darren Walker, president, Ford Foundation
First published in 1999, Worlds Apart examined the nature of poverty through the stories of real people in three remote rural areas of the United States: New England, Appalachia, and the Mississippi Delta. In this new edition, Duncan returns to her original research, interviewing some of the same people as well as some new key informants. Duncan provides powerful new insights into the dynamics of poverty, politics, and community change.
