Back to the Land in the 1970s on the Quest for a New America
Ratings1
Average rating5
Absolutely fantastic, highly recommend. I loved how the author looked at the particular via the Myrtle Hill Commune and via her own parents' back-to-the-land experience, but also looked at the bigger picture via the context of American history far past and in the time of the 1970s. It all worked together to make just the right reading magic.
This book also made me wonder if maybe this back-to-the-land movement explains why the dominant colors of the 1970s were mustard yellow, carrot orange, and every shade of brown imaginable? Just a thought.
