Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating history of the back-to-the-land movement in the United States, exploring its evolution from the early 19th century through the tumultuous years of the Great Depression. The author traces the philosophical roots of agrarianism, highlighting the ideas of influential figures like Thomas Jefferson and John Taylor of Caroline, who championed the virtues of rural life and a landowning citizenry. The narrative unfolds across a rich tapestry of historical events, examining the rise and fall of various back-to-the-land initiatives, including utopian communities, the school garden movement, and the efforts of organizations like the Salvation Army. The book pays particular attention to the surge of interest in subsistence farming during the Depression era, analyzing the motivations, successes, and failures of individuals and government programs seeking to provide relief and economic security through a return to the land. The author delves into the ideological clashes surrounding these efforts, contrasting the views of agrarian purists, modern Hamiltonians, and those advocating for a democratization of privilege. Through a detailed examination of New Deal communities, the book sheds light on the complex interplay between idealism, disillusionment, and the enduring legacy of the back-to-the-land movement in shaping American society. Ultimately, this book offers valuable insights into the ongoing tension between individualism and collectivism, the allure of rural life, and the quest for a more just and equitable society.
