Description: A literary ethnography of how a garden at an underserved school changed the educational environment.
Review Quotes: "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, Marshall University
