Description
NATIONAL BESTSELLER
A landmark work of environmental writing that powerfully argues that our estrangement from the land through industrial farming is a cultural and spiritual crisis—now presented in a beautiful fiftieth anniversary edition featuring a new foreword by the author
Since its original publication in 1977, The Unsettling of America has been recognized as a classic of American letters. And it is perhaps more relevant than ever, as today’s agribusiness has wrested the cultural and spiritual disclipine of farming even farther from its cultural context and the family’s that practice it. As a result, we as a nation are more estranged from the land—from the intimate knowledge, love, and care of it.
Although “this book has not had the happy fate of being proved wrong,” Wendell Berry writes, there are people working “to make something comely and enduring of our life on this earth.” Berry is one of those people, writing and working, as ever, with passion, eloquence, and conviction.
