Education, Ecology and Culture: Stories from the Margins.
Teran, Gustavo A.; Esteva, Gustavo
Progressive Perspectives, v3 n1 Fall 2000
Visits to rural indigenous communities in Oaxaca (Mexico) exposed Vermont teachers and university students to cultures that recognize the interconnectedness of life and caused them to reflect on how different cultural patterns promote or hinder ecologically sustainable living. The communities' efforts to incorporate their culture and language into school curricula are discussed. (Contains 12 references.) (TD)
