Contributions look at representations and experiences of rural childhoods from both the Global North and Global South (including U.S., Canada, Haiti, India, Sweden, Slovenia, South Africa, Russia, Timor-Leste, and Colombia) and consider visuals ranging from picture books to cell phone video to television. \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eContents\u003cbr\u003e Preface\u003cbr\u003e Forward \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 1. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eIntroduction: Beginnings\u003cbr\u003e Part I\u003cbr\u003e Images and Imaginings in the Study of Rural Childhoods\u003cbr\u003e 2. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003ePastoral Visions of Childhood: Selling Suburbia as Home in the American Countryside\u003cbr\u003e Holley Wlodarczyk\u003cbr\u003e 3. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eEducating for the World Beyond: Challenging Idyllic Images of the Rural School\u003cbr\u003e Jonathan Kresmer\u003cbr\u003e 4. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eNature Lovers as Nation Lovers in Canadian TV's The Forest Rangers (1963–1965)\u003cbr\u003e Jennifer VanderBurgh\u003cbr\u003e 5. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eVideo Game Depictions of Rural Childhoods in the Global South: Get Water! and Ayiti: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Cost of Life \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Renee Jackson \u0026amp;\u003cbr\u003e April Mandrona\u003cbr\u003e 6. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003ePatriot Boys and Pioneer Girls: Christian Homeschool Texts, Gender, and the American Rural Idyll\u003cbr\u003e Elizabeth Shively\u003cbr\u003e 7. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eRural Girlhoods in Picturebooks: Visual Constructions of Social Practices  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Karen Eppley\u003cbr\u003e Part II\u003cbr\u003e Acts of Memory and Imagination\u003cbr\u003e 8. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eThe Place of Girls?
