The internet access gap is identifiable not only in the Global South—perceived as peripheral—but also in the Global North—regarded as advanced and the motor of technological development. This suggests the emergence and endurance of peripheries based on the level of techno-social development. Locally, this process accords with existing socio-spatial practices and with the ways ICTs are being introduced in the everyday. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book explores the recursive interaction between socio-spatial practices and the late introduction of the internet in three marginalized rurban communities in Brazil and in the UK. It brings to the fore challenges that cross North-South divides to propose an open theory of the connected rurban as a framework that addresses and accommodates the specificities of these communities in the first two decades of the twentieth-first century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003col\u003e\u003cli\u003eChapter 1: The Emergence of the Connected Rurban: An Introduction to the Process of Socio-Technological Peripheralization\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart 1: Developing An Appropriate Lens To Look At The Connected Rurban: A Multilevel Approach\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 2: Setting The Context\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003col\u003e\u003cli\u003eChapter 3: Peripherality And The Everyday Of The Rurban: Rethinking Methodology\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart 2: An Introduction To The Everyday: On People, Places And The Internet\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 4: Santo Antônio do Salto\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 5: Pendeen\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 6: Noiva do Cordeiro\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart 3: From The Global To The Everyday And Back Again: Bottom-Bottom Tactics As Means To Social Transformation?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 7: Understanding Multilevel Peripherality In The Connected Rurban\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 8.
