Patrick Carr talked about the book he co-wrote, Hollowing Out the Middle: The Rural Brain Drain and What it Means for America (Beacon Press; October 1, 2009). In the book the authors reported their research in a small Iowa town where the exodus of the most educated young people threatens the future of such towns and of small-town life in America. Patrick J. Carr About the Program Immigration is causing young people in small towns to leave their homes, the authors argue. They say this departure is large-scale, and that it leaves behind a largely immigrant, segregated population, making small middle-American towns look more and more like inner cities. Co-author Mr. Carr appears here in Sumner, Iowa. Patrick J. Carr Mr. Carr is associate professor of sociology at Rutgers University-New Brunswick. He is also author of "Clean Streets." -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "ShadowGovernment" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
