ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
I express my sincere gratitude and appreciation to all the students, teachers, parents, and principals of the rural schools who generously participated in this research project. Thank you for opening the doors of your school, house, and community. Special thanks to both principals for their generous support and to those teachers who welcomed me into their homes. This book would have been much harder to complete without the support and intellectual stimulus of my colleagues and students at the Melbourne Graduate School of Education and the Youth Research Centre, at the University of Melbourne. In particular, I thank Professor Johanna Wyn, the Centre Director, for her unfailing support for this project. Thanks to my publisher, Palgrave Macmillan, and in particular, Mara Berkoff, Milana Vernikova, and Sarah Nathan, who assisted with the publication of this book. I am also grateful to my parents and brothers who supported me in the other part of the world from the very beginning, tirelessly and with no hesitation. Finally, I want to thank my family for their relentless support and encouragement during this work. Chapters 5 and 6 are derived in part from articles published, first, in the Journal of Youth Studies: Cuervo, H. (2014). “Critical reflections on youth and equality in the rural co
