Land, community, and identity

Description

The paper explores the notion of community, specifically Haliburton, from the perspective of land, individual identity and collective identity.  

It touches upon the pronounced urban-rural polarities that run deep into the Canadian psychological constitution and finally, looks at the idea of belonging to place and the need and desire to locate ourselves on the geographical map of the human experience.
