Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the migration of farmworkers to cities over the last half-century, discussing the reasons behind this movement and its wider impact on society. The author explores the decline in the number of people living on farms, contrasting the factors influencing migration in the past and present day. Whilst in the past migration was predominantly to new agricultural lands within the USA, the movement the author discusses is characterized by a change in occupation towards non-agricultural professions. The book raises questions about the social consequences of this movement and the factors which drive people to leave rural communities. Intriguingly, the author suggests that despite a natural increase in the farming population due to a higher birth rate than death rate, net migration away from farms is actually around 700,000 people per year. Overall, this book offers a timely and important analysis of a major demographic shift in modern times and will appeal to readers interested in migration, urbanization, and social change.
