| Sumario: | "Greta Gaard journeys through the deserts of southern California, through the High Sierras, the Wind River Mountains, and the North Cascades, through the wildlands and waterways of Washington and Minnesota, through snow season, rain season, mud season, and lilac season, yet her essays transcend mere description of natural beauty to investigate the interplay between place and identity. Gaard examines the earliest environments of childhood and the relocations of adulthood, expanding the feminist insight that identity is formed through relationships to include relationships to place. "Home" becomes not a static noun but an active verb: the process of cultivating the connections with place and people that shape who we become."--Jacket |
