Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In many communities across North America in the 1960s and 1970s, the rural-relocation movement became both a way of life and a path forward for many people inclined to buck the mainstreamand Paul Salstrom embraced it. His experiences in rural Lincoln County, West Virginia, led him to the self-sufficient, 'neighborly networking' lifestyle well known in many Appalachian communities since the early nineteenth century.In Appalachia's Alternative to Mainstream America, Salstrom outlines his Appalachian experiences in a memoir, revisiting this back-to-the-land tradition that guided his cultural experience during this time. While he pursued a number of experimental alternatives to a mainstream way of life during the late 1960s, it was not until he landed in Lincoln County a few years later that he found himself engaging in an alternative way of living that didn't feel 'experimental' at all. This distinctive way of life was largely characterized by a closer connection to the earthlocal sufficiency informed by homesteading, subsistence farming, and gardeningand the community-wide trading of favors in a spirit of mutual aid.Over time, Salstrom's engagement in this 'neighborly' occupation has nurtured an informed belief that Americans will be drawn back to landed customs, taking care of the earth and of one another to thrive as individuals and communities. Emerging crises like pandemics, climate change, and deepening political divisions, as well as positive developments, like the embrace of organic food and the farm-to-table movement, Salstrom contends, might be just what America society needs in order to realize its democratic aspirations.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The debate over the source of Appalachia's economic problems has been going strong since Harry Caudill's Night Comes to the Cumberlands appeared in 1963. Now a new study illuminates the region's plight, making a vital contribution to the understanding of this area's critical economic dilemma.In Appalachia's Path to Dependency, Paul Salstrom examines the evolution of economic life over time in southern Appalachia. Moving away from the colonial model to an analysis based on dependency, he exposes the complex web of factors--regulation of credit, industrialization, population growth, cultural values, federal intervention--that has worked against the region.Salstrom argues that economic adversity has resulted from three types of disadvantages: natural, market, and political. The overall context in which Appalachia's economic life unfolded was one of expanding United States markets and, after the Civil War, of expanding capitalist relations.Covering Appalachia's economic history from early white settlement to the end of the New Deal, this work is not simply an economic interpretation but draws as well on other areas of history. Salstrom compares Appalachia with the Midwest at mid-nineteenth century, today's Appalachia with Third World countries, and the region with Japan.Whereas other interpretations of Appalachia's economy have tended to seek social or psychological explanations for its dependency, this important work compels us to look directly at the region's economic history. This regional perspective offers a clear-eyed view of Appalachia's path in the future.…
