Seems like we have an entire genre of commentary about the dilemmas of
rural America! Enough to
fill a few books, or a syllabus or two. (Which makes we ask - is this a
taboo subject for academia?
I do not recall seeing many sociological/psychological/economic studies
in the last decade? Or do
I need to be reminded?)
Highly recommend also this recent Counterpunch article.

This is the Missouri Bootheel. The counties around here are called
that because if you squint at a map, it kind of looks like the heel of
a boot, jutting south from the rest of the state into Arkansas and
Tennessee. The name comes from its shape, but it’s something of a
metaphor, too. It can sometimes seem like life is trying to grind
people down.
It’s a place, one of many in America, where disadvantages pile up.
Researchers are uncovering links between education — or lack of it —
and health, and they don’t like what they see. It’s not clear whether
a college degree leads directly to better health, or, if so, how. But
the findings are alarming: Educational disparities and economic
malaise and lack of opportunity are making people like those in the
Bootheel sick. And maybe even killing them.
