Compelling Ties: Landscape, Community, and Sense of Place.
Newman, Vicky
Peabody Journal of Education, v70 n4 p105-18 Sum 1995
Using Barbara Kingsolver's novel "Animal Dreams" and critical readings, the paper explores relationships between community, sense of place, and construction of meanings, noting the importance of autobiography in connecting with community and place in constructing landscapes and personal meaning and advocating for education that does not engender blind acceptance of communal tradition.
