David B. Danbom is a professor of history at North Dakota State University, Fargo. Few books exist on the social history of rural america. Danbom's work is by far the best on the subject that I have seen, and should be read by anyone interested in close relationship between agriculture and rural society throughout much of our nation's history. Danbom covers the colonial period through the latest farm crisis of the '80s with consistent skill and erudition.

Born in the Country book. Born in the Country was the first-and is still the only-general. He discusses the alarming decline of agriculture as a productive enterprise and the parallel disintegration of farm families into demographic insignificance. In a new and provocative afterword, Danbom reflects on whether a distinctive style of rural life exists any longer.

As the first interpretive history of rural America, the book tries to connect the old, rather tired field of agricultural history (which deals with the growing of food and fiber, and the changes in the structure of agriculture over time) with the fresher, more robust "new rural history," which charts change in the structure of rural society. An important disclaimer in the preface, however, alerts the reader that the book has a more modest goal than a fully fledged history of rural America: it is "mainly a study of farm people.

Throughout most of its history, American has been a rural nation, largely made up of farmers, and yet recent historians have not successfully surveyed American social history from that perspective. Now David B. Danbom, historian and former president of the Agricultural History Society, has written the first book to offer a comprehensive history of rural America.

Ranging from pre-Columbian times to the enormous changes of the twentieth century, Born in the Country masterfully integrates agricultural, technological, and economic themes with new questions social historians have raised about the American experience―including the different experiences of whites and blacks, men and women, natives and new immigrants. Danbom also illuminates the complex changes in the interrelationship between rural and urban America, as the rural way of life not only became increasingly rare but changed in character as well―from one that differed markedly from the urban experience to one that differed only subtly, if at all. Combining mastery of existing scholarship with a fresh approach to a significant new body of material, Born in the Country is a work that will define the field for years to come.
