Rural Education for the Twenty-First Century : Identity, Place, and Community in a Globalizing World

農村地區及其學校歷史悠久，以社區為基礎的傳統、政治和文化保守主義以及地方和社區認同的建構。然而，美國和國外農村社區的面貌正在被多國自由貿易協定的經濟影響，大眾媒體和信息技術的擴散以及諸如“不讓一個孩子掉隊”等教育改革所徹底改變。

這些變化為農村人民帶來了新的機遇，也帶來了新的挑戰。二十一世紀的農村教育探索了為農村學校和社區的未來提供問題和可能性的實踐。

Rural places and their schools have a long history of community-based traditions, political and cultural conservatism, and intergenerational construction of local and community identity. However, the face of rural communities, both in the U.S. and abroad, is being radically transformed by the economic effects of multinational free trade agreements, the proliferation of mass media and information technology, and educational reforms such as No Child Left Behind.

These changes have presented new opportunities for rural people, as well as new challenges. Rural Education for the Twenty-First Century explores the practices that offer both problems and possibilities for the futures of rural schools and communities. In addition to the editors, the contributors are Genevieve Brown, Rebecca Bustamante, Gretchen Butera, Thomas Butler, Michael Corbett, Lisa Humphreys Costello, Stephen Crump, Jacqueline Edmondson, Parfait Eloundou-Enyegue, Susan Faircloth, R.
