Karen E. Hayden explores how the rural other became linked to evolutionary theories that emerged in the mid-nineteenth century. Using popular culture depictions of the rural primitive, Hayden shows that the message of rurality is clear: if society resists modernization and urbanization, degeneracy, primitivism, and an overall devolution will occur.
