Who We Are Is Where We Are offers a novel analysis of how the residues of industry continue to structure peoples' ties to places while constraining communities’ capacity to imagine how to reinvent themselves. Through compelling narrative, it poignantly makes the case for the significance of place attachment over and above material conditions in anchoring people in communities. -- Colin Jerolmack, author of <i>Up to Heaven and Down to Hell: Fracking, Freedom, and Community in an American Town</i> Fitting beautifully into the rural sociological tradition of place-based ethnographies, Who We Are is Where We Are masterfully illustrates the complexities of maintaining community in the wake of structural change. A must-read for anyone interested in how places become “home,” and why people persist in them despite loss and decline. -- Jennifer Sherman, author of <i>Dividing Paradise</i> and <i>Those Who Work, Those Who Don’t</i>
