%X We offer an historically-based analysis of a new phenomenon affecting rural schools and communities: animal confinement operations. A contrast is made between ˇ°enclosureˇ± as it unfolded in England a few centuries ago and the way animal concentration units constitute a second, ˇ°modernˇ± form of enclosure today. In both instances, as this essay demonstrates, rural populations have suffered markedly.
