Reviews

The authors have two goals. The first is to offer rich qualitative data about what occurs when rural students, in partnership with university students, work on extended projects with topics of their own choosing. The second is to argue that such self-chosen and directed projects-authentic literacy projects-can actually have an effect on rural outmigration and rural residents' desire and ability to improve their own communities. Both goals are important and timely. -Kim Donehower, coauthor of Rural Literacie.
