Children’s Experiences with ICT in Rural Colombia Diana Carolina Garcia Gomez and Helle Strandgaard Jensen Index Acknowledgements Notes on ContributorsReviewsThis is a book of intersections that takes the seemingly temporal idea of childhood and connects it to the apparently spatial idea of rurality. This is very stimulating reading that employs the visual turn to illustrate some of the many ways childhood is experienced and represented in rural geographies. This work offers a timely challenge to established stereotypes about both childhood and rural life. --Michael Corbett coauthor of Rural Literacies: Transnational Perspectives Visual Encounters in the Study of Rural Childhoods is a welcome addition on many fronts. It tackles rural childhood in many locations around the world, both Global North and Global South, and it does so by means of studying the visual. Instead of taking images of carefree rural childhoods at face value, the authors delve into their hidden meanings. What are we really seeing in these visions and versions of childhood? This is recommended reading for scholars in many fields: childhood studies, rural history, history of gender and sexuality, and so many others. --Pamela Riney-Kehrberg author of Childhood on the Farm: Work, Play, and Coming of Age in the Midwest This is a book of intersections that takes the seemingly temporal idea of childhood and connects it to the apparently spatial idea of rurality.
