Teaching Diversity in Rural Schools: Attaining Understanding,
Tolerance, and Respect Through Young Adult Literature aims to
assist secondary English Language Arts rural educators and students
regarding diversity education through the use of rural, small
town-themed young adult literature. While appropriate for any rural
educator, the Upper Midwestern states (IA, MN, MT, NE, ND, SD, and
WY) are focused on because they are unique in their predominantly
White residents, with few to no racial and cultural minorities in
all locations, large or small. Teaching rural students about
minorities and facilitating in developing understanding, tolerance,
and respect toward those different from oneself is difficult when
absent from communities and schools. However, this book helps in
reaching these goals through the use of titles that consider
specific topics of cultural and racial minorities, such as those
who are LGBTQ+, undocumented, homeless, having exceptionalities,
managing grief/loss, and more. Also addressed are rural communities
and schools, the purpose and importance of young adult literature,
and locating quality rural, small town-themed novels. Suggestions
for using this literature, activities, discussion topics, and
recommended titles are also provided.
