The Lewis family has fished in the same spot since 1888 and operated the fishery through five generations. The extended Lewis family  its fisherys crew  and the Lambertville community connect with people throughout the region  including environmentalists concerned about the river. It was a Lewis who raised the alarm and helped resurrect a polluted river and its biosphere. While this once exclusively masculine activity is central to the tiny island  today men  women  and children fish  living out a sense of place  belonging  and sustainability.  In Another Haul: Narrative Stewardship and Cultural Sustainability at the Lewis Family Fishery  author Charlie Groth highlights the traditional  vernacular  and everyday cultural expressions of the family and crew to understand how community  culture  and the environment intersect. Groth argues there is a system of narrative here that combines verbal activities and everyday activities.  On the basis of over two decades of participation and observation  interviews  surveys  and a wide variety of published sources  Groth identifies a phenomenon she calls narrative stewardship. This narrative system  emphasizing place  community  and commitment  in turn  encourages environmental and cultural stewardship  tradition  and community. Intricate and embedded  the system appears invisible  but careful study unpacks and untangles how people  often unconsciously  foster sustainability. Though an ethnography of an occupation  the volume encourages readers to consider what arises as special about all cultures and what needs to be seen and preserved.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45647052931125,"sku":"ByrdShop_1496820851","price":29.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781496820853.jpg?v=1781687117","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/another-haul-narrative-stewardship-and-cultural-sustainability-at-the-lewis-family-fishery-folklore-studies-in-a-multicultural-world-series-9781496820853","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
