Rezensionen

The Pull of the Earth is an exemplary blend of collaborative ethnography and participatory research. With contributions from diverse school participants - including the students themselves - Thorp and her collaborators chart a powerful course of action for planting roots in locality, service, and citizenship. It is indeed a wonderful book. -- Luke Eric Lassiter, author of The Chicago Guide to Collaborative Ethnography
