The Unsettling of America

Culture & Agriculture

Wendell Berry

Discover a classic of American letters that argues for good farming as a cultural development and spiritual discipline. In The Unsettling of America, Wendell Berry critiques agribusiness for taking farming away from families and its cultural context, resulting in our nation's estrangement from the land. Berry's arguments and observations are more relevant than ever, as we face loss of community, devaluation of human work, and destruction of nature. However, he remains optimistic that good people can create a lasting and beautiful life on this earth. Join Berry's passionate and eloquent call to return to our roots and build a better future.
