A Narrative Approach to Development: Implications for Adult Education.

Rossiter, Marsha

Adult Education Quarterly, v50 n1 p56-71 Nov 1999

Time and narrative are integrally related; narrative is historical and can be understood as interpretation of life stories. Individual and cultural narratives are interrelated. (SK)
