Children of the Land
Adversity and Success in Rural America (The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation Series on Mental Health and De)
by Jr., Glen H. Elder and Rand D. Conger
"In Children of the Land, the authors ask whether traditional observations about farm families - strong intergenrational ties, productive roles for youth in work and social leadership, dedicated parents, and a network of positive engagement in church, school, and community life - apply to 300 Iowa children who have grown up with some tie to the land. The answer, as the authors show, is a resounding yes.
The study includes families involved in full-time or part-time farming, displaced farm families, families in which the parents grew up on a farm, and non-farm families - the comparison group."--BOOK JACKET.
