| dc.description.abstract | Detailing place-based protests during the 1970s, one in northern France and another in Scotland, Miller, a peripatetic scholar currently with the UNICEF's Innocenti Research Centre in Florence, Italy, argues that the power of the specific sociocultural products called places cannot be avoided, because they exert a strong influence on how people conceive of themselves and their world. He builds on the idea of place and place-based identities, and elaborates their temporal dimension and historical roots to explore how they are constructed as simultaneously past, present, and future. | en |
