Enclosure Then and Now: Rural Schools and CommunitiesKeywords: rural communities , rural education , enclosure , animal confinement Abstract: We offer an historically-based analysis of a new phenomenon affecting rural schools and communities: animal confinement operations.

In both instances, as this essay demonstrates, rural populations have suffered markedly.
