This book examines the current and future state of rural education
in North America through the lens of Franco Berardi's Futurability.
Through critical examination of examples and current trends towards
corporatization and privatization of rural education, the volume
highlights how future possibilities and social imagination in rural
spaces has been limited by neoliberal forces, capitalist interests,
and workforce education. Cervone demonstrates how Berardi's concept
of creating future can be embraced to foster critical thought,
challenge injustices, and open opportunity. With this line of
analysis, the book ultimately supports an ethos of a return to
education for the common good. Bringing an important perspective to
the field of rural education scholarship, this work will be of
interest to scholars and researchers in sociology of education and
education policy.
This book presents a critical analysis of the anti-democratic and
pro-authoritarian ideologies that exist in rural communities in the
United States. The author book also explores and recontextualizes
existing research in rural education within this anti-democratic
framework, as well as theorizing the consequences of this ideology
as it takes place in the rural United States, specifically in
regards to the physical and ideological shaping of rural
communities to meet the needs of capitalist accumulation. Finally,
it discusses the ways rural youth can reclaim the public sphere
within their communities through critical education.
