The impact of the pandemic is set to intensify these inequalities as the decades of neoliberal dismantling of public healthcare and other social institutions leave inhabitants of impoverished rural areas particularly vulnerable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEven before this current exacerbation, representations of rural landscape in American cinema have sought to spatially visualise the country’s social inequalities and focus on the victims of poverty and marginalisation.

It views the chosen films as expressions of a growing awareness of the dire inequality caused by neoliberal capitalism in the United States and the role landscape plays both in its mechanisms of social exclusion as well as in its collective contestation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47934156931308,"sku":"9783112247488","price":72.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9783112247488-new-rural-cinema.jpg?v=1783900447"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/tim-lindemann.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
