Rural Citizenship
Abstract
<jats:p>“Citizenship,” like “rurality,” is a highly contested term. Yet emerging research has suggested that distinctive forms of citizenship are becoming associated with the global countryside. This entry examines the significance of citizenship to rural geography and how understandings of rurality contribute to our knowledge of citizenship. It explores how rural citizenship is imagined, performed, and contested in different spatial settings, from local villages to transnational rural communities. It explores how the language of rights and duties has been applied to rural areas. The entry concludes by examining the significance of rural activism in developing new forms of transnational citizenship.</jats:p>
