Rural Revival A Photo-Ethnography of Entrepreneurs in a Renovating Region

Through eloquent well-researched prose and a series of stunning photographs, Alex Stewart tells the story of present-day Bonavista Peninsula, a place both modern and historic, one of steady rock and capricious weather, of creative and entrepreneurial people and the various ways they thrive in this oceanside landscape. Rural Revival is a compelling work of joy and survival that is rooted in place and at the same time, universal.

This book is an empathetic masterpiece. Its pioneering use of photo-ethnography delivers important contributions to our understanding of rural entrepreneurship.
