Download or read book Trauma Farm written by Brian Brett and published by Greystone Books Ltd. This book was released on 2009-10-01 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The acclaimed author transforms a single day on his small farm into a “gorgeously thoughtful meditation on the natural world” and our place in it (Vancouver Sun). The acclaimed poet and author Brian Brett takes readers on an irreverent and illuminating journey through a day in the life of his small island farm in British Columbia, affectionately named Trauma Farm. With fascinating ruminations on everything from the natural history of farming to the horrors of industrial slaughterhouses, Brett’s day of tending to his farm becomes a Joycean epic of agrarian life. Brett moves from the tending of livestock, poultry, orchards, gardens, machinery, and fields to the social intricacies of rural communities and, finally, to an encounter with a magnificent deer in the silver moonlight of a magical field. Brett understands both tall tales and rigorous science as he explores the small mixed farm—meditating on the perfection of the egg and the nature of soil while also offering a scathing critique of agribusiness. Whether discussing the uses and misuses of gates, examining the energy of seeds, or bantering with his family, farm hands, and neighbors, Brett remains aware of the miracles of life, birth, and death that confront the rural world every day. Trauma Farm was a 2009 book of the year in the Times Literary Supplement and the Globe & Mail, and winner of Writers’ Trust Canadian Non-Fiction Prize.

Download or read book Dirt Road Revival written by Chloe Maxmin and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 2022-05-10 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Democratic Party left rural America behind. This urgent rallying cry shows how Democrats can win back and empower overlooked communities that have been pushing politics to the right—and why long-term progressive political power depends on it. Through 2 successful elections in rural red districts that few thought could be won by a Democrat, twentysomethings Maine state senator Chloe Maxmin (D-District 13) and campaign manager Canyon Woodward saw how the Democratic Party has focused for too long on the interests of elite leaders and big donors, forcing the party to abandon the concerns of rural America—jeopardizing climate justice, racial equity, economic justice, and more. Dirt Road Revival looks at how we got here and lays out a road map for progressive campaigns in rural America to build an inclusive, robust, grassroots politics that fights for equity and justice across our country. First, Maxmin and Woodward detail how rural America has been left behind. They explore rural healthcare, economic struggle, brain drain, aging communities, whiteness and racism, education access, broadband, Big Agriculture, and more. Drawing on their own experiences, they paint a picture of rural America today and pinpoint the strategic failures of Democrats that have caused the party to lose its rural foothold. Next, they tell the story of their successful campaigns in the most rural county in the most rural state in the nation. In 2018, Maxmin became the only Democrat to ever win Maine House District 88 and then unseated the highest-ranking Republican in Maine —the Senate Minority Leader—in 2020, making her the youngest woman senator in Maine’s history. Finally, Maxmin and Woodward distill their experiences into concrete lessons that can be applied to rural districts across the country to build power from the state and local levels on up. They lay out a new long-term vision for Democrats to rebuild trust and win campaigns in rural America by translating progressive values to a rural context, moving beyond the failed strategies of establishment consultants and utilizing grassroots-movement organizing strategies to effectively engage moderate rural voters.
Download or read book Our Neighborhood written by John F. Smith and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-08-15 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Neighborhood: Good Citizenship in Rural Communities While their attention is being directed to these things, it is necessary that they be taught to think in terms well known to them and their neighbors. As citizens they must think about roads, play grounds, pig clubs, courts, seed corn, taxes, game laws; community morals, prevention of waste, pure air and water, and the prevention of diseases among people and farm animals. Their skill in handling these and similar problems will be the measure of their civilization and progress. This is especially true of those who live on farms and in small country towns. The schools that do most for the young people of the countryside will devote much time to the definite things that are close to the door-step, things that concern men and women who expect to live in the country community. This book has been prepared for the purpose of directing the attention of country boys and girls to some of the definite things they will have to do in later years as members of a community. It shows the splendid possibilities of the kind of community life that will keep boys and girls in the country where they can be independent and happy. Instructions of this kind will help to arrest the present unfortunate tendency of country youth to crowd into the narrowing and often squalid life of the city.
