Small Town America: Another Inspiration for Modern Life
About This Novel
In the United States, more than 30 million people live in remote towns. Most of them could have gone to live in the city, earn more money, enjoy a more convenient life, and get wider educational opportunities. But they still chose the small town. Small towns are the cornerstone of American culture and the cradle of political democracy. It is the residents of small towns far away from modern cities that have become a major reason for Trump's election. The lifestyle and values of small towns are the foundation of today's American society. Robert Wusnow, professor and chair of the Department of Sociology at Princeton University, spent five years interviewing more than 700 people, covering hundreds of small towns in 43 states, and combining 30 years of population data to describe in detail the joys and difficulties of small town life, as well as the inner hopes and fears of small town residents. How can small towns survive in the wave of urbanization? The American experience will provide China with new ideas for solving urbanization problems.
