N2  - "Blending theory and case studies, Civic Communion looks at community-building in rural America and how civic-minded people come together in a variety of ways, such as hosting and attending festivals, addressing conflict, planning the community, and maintaining heritage museums. David Proeter's work reveals a specific and significant form of community "talk" that serves to build and sustain community."--BOOK JACKET
