Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

MoreLong description:
The carefully selected readings and articles in Issues and Challenges of the American Rural South educate students about the social problems that negatively impact a significant segment of the population in this region.
The book fills a gap in the field, where most standard textbooks do not devote intensive study to this specific region and those who make their lives there. Part I of the text provides a general overview of poverty in the rural south and its impact on those who are marginalized. Part II uses the voices of poor and HIV-positive African Americans to examine health disparities and inequality.
Parts III and IV explore the long-lasting impact of Hurricane Katrina and the subsequent community development efforts. Part V addresses education issues including essential competencies and skills, post-university income attainment, and agriculturally related jobs.
Based on over two decades of research, Issues and Challenges of the American Rural South was written for upper-division and graduate-level courses in rural sociology, race relations, and social problems and issues. The material is widely applicable to courses in African American studies departments and can also be used in sociology and social work programs.
