Featuring chapters by an international group of scholars and
academics, Rural Youth at the Crossroads discusses the challenges
and contexts facing youth from rural communities in countries with
legacies of socialism undergoing social, political, and economic
transition. The chapters employ a variety of sources and approaches
to examine rural youth outcomes, and the well-being and
sustainability of rural areas. The book focuses particularly on
career and educational goals, the often contradictory relations
between rural schools and communities, majority-minoritized group
relations, community engagement, and political attitudes.
Individual chapters examine these questions and dynamics within
Croatia, Czechia, Hungary, Romania, Russia, Serbia, and Vietnam. In
total the volume represents a unique and timely comparative
discussion of the relationship between youth and rural development
within transitional societies, and the challenges and opportunities
for enhancing the well-being and sustainability of rural
communities. Aimed at informing strategies to revitalize rural
social space, this book is targeted towards social scientists with
interest in sociology and rural sociology, demography, education,
youth development, community/regional development, rurality, public
policy, and identity formation in transitional contexts. As such,
this book will have international appeal to researchers, educators,
and policymakers in transitional countries, and to those interested
in these topics, regions, and communities.
