Narratives of Home and Away: Rural Youth Migration from the Gaspe Peninsula
|
| Abstract |
A case study of Anglophone Gaspesian youths and the social construction of rural to urban migration. The author explores how youths construct their view of 'the rural' and 'the urban' and how they use these views to form migration decisions. He discusses the to influence of deep-rooted migration networks as links and facilitators in rural to urban migration streams. Finally, the author demonstrates how youths are active interpreters, critics and agents, and how their experience, knowledge, and opinions can offer valuable insights into discussions of rural development.
