Town + Country: Narratives of Property and Capital troubles the enduring narrative binary of town and country. Borders between these two terrains have always morphed and slipped around each other theoretically, politically, economically, and socially, yet the narrative of the urban/rural divide persists. Indigenous land dispossession and reclamation, capital accumulation in the form of real-estate assets, labour, and technological development are all obscured by this persistent fiction. Town and country narratives similarly obscure questions of class, freedom of movement, and resource extraction.
