Published in 1995 this book provides an account of a detailed
research project focusing on a rural school in West Virginia.
Researched from several social science perspectives the book
strives to capture intersections between biography and history in a
particular public school - Burnsville High and Middle school in
Braxton County - that has been influenced by social, political, and
economic forces, eventually leading to its closure. The author also
discusses how the example of this school can be applied within the
framework of American public education and Western culture itself.
Based on research from unstructured interviews, oral histories,
historical records, and intermittent fieldwork that took place
between 1989 and 1992, the book provides an in-depth look at a
specific school, offering a basis for discussing rural schools in
general. It challenges the idea that bigger schools are better and
more efficient schools in terms of the individual, the social life
of the school, and the surrounding community, and considers the
lack of scholarly accounts available on the issues, controversies,
and social dynamics that surround these vital community matters.
