Guide

To the casual observer, the South represents a truly vibrant and dynamic region of the United States. It is no easy task, therefore, to dedicate an entire volume to a subject that systematically reveals the serious flaws associated with this imagery. Despite the progress that has touched many Southerners in recent decades, a number of the region's rural residents remain mired in a state of economic and social deprivation.

In an effort to call attention to the plight of rural Southerners, the Southern Rural Development Center (SRDC), located at Mississippi State University, sponsored this volume dealing with the subject of "The Rural South in Crisis." I was fortunate to be awarded a faculty development grant with the SRDC to give leadership to this effort.

The present volume captures the views of people who are prominent students of rural America. Treatment is given to the serious state of affaire in rural areas of the South and to the possible strategies for stimulating long-term improvements in the well-being of rural Southerners. In the final analysis, if the volume spurs policymakers, leaders, and rural residents to redress the ills of the rural South, it will have been a most worthwhile effort.

No product of this magnitude can be undertaken without the assistance and support of a number of individuals. Special thanks are extended to chapter authors for their untiring efforts to develop and refine their manuscripts, even under the most difficult timetables.

Sarah McLeod Knox, a publications editor in the Editorial Department, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, provided technical editing for the volume, an effort die carried out in a most diligent, capable and professional manner.

Few words can capture the vital role that the staff of the Southern Rural Development Center, Mississippi State University, performed in bringing this edited book to fruition. Much of the financial support for this volume was provided by the Center. Dr. Doss Brodnax, Director of the SRDC, gave unselfishly of his time to facilitate completion of this product. Bonnie Teater shouldered much of the burden of producing the typeset version of this book. She is, without a doubt, the most talented and dedicated individual in a support staff position that I have had the good fortune of working with in my professional career. Moreover, I thank the entire SRDC staff for providing me with a most enriching experience during my one-year faculty development program leave with the Center.
