Bioregionalism - a Sense of Place
Sale, Kirkpatrick | October 12, 1985 issue

add to cart   close window

It is still a new phenomenon, not more than a decade old, but bioregionalism has already opened up what the author takes to be important new territory in American politics and has gathered what may be fairly called a movement around it. As of now it can claim for itself more than sixty affiliated groups, a dozen regional congresses, a nascent continental organization, some fourteen regular publications, a sizable bookshelf of research and analysis, and a vision of the future unlike any other. What makes the bioregional movement so significant is that it is putting forth, loud and clear, a message unique to this age. Bioregionalism presents a perfectly plausible future, and the vision has the undoubted air of the practical, the doable, and the achievable.
