Описание: A superior exploration of the consequences of the hollowing out of our agricultural heartlands.--Kirkus ReviewsIn the tradition of Wendell Berry, a young writer wrestles with what we owe the places we've left behind. In the tiny farm town of Emmett, Idaho, there are two kinds of people: those who leave and those who stay. Those who leave go in search of greener pastures, better jobs, and college. Those who stay are left to contend with thinning communities, punishing government farm policy, and environmental decay. Grace Olmstead, now a journalist in Washington, DC, is one who left, and in Uprooted, she examines the heartbreaking consequences of uprooting--for Emmett, and for the greater heartland America. Part memoir, part journalistic investigation, Uprooted wrestles with the questions of what we owe the places we come from and what we are willing to sacrifice for profit and progress. As part of her own quest to decide whether or not to return to her roots, Olmstead revisits the stories of those who, like her great-grandparents and grandparents, made Emmett a strong community and her childhood idyllic. She looks at the stark realities of farming life today, identifying the government policies and big agriculture practices that make it almost impossible for such towns to survive. And she explores the ranks of Emmett's newcomers and what growth means for the area's farming tradition. Avoiding both sentimental devotion to the past and blind faith in progress, Olmstead uncovers ways modern life attacks all of our roots, both metaphorical and literal. She brings readers face to face with the damage and brain drain left in the wake of our pursuit of self-improvement, economic opportunity, and so-called growth. Ultimately, she comes to an uneasy conclusion for herself: one can cultivate habits and practices that promote rootedness wherever one may be, but: some things, once lost, cannot be recovered.

Описание:
This book is about many things, things like politics, war, society, history, power, and even love. But most of all it is about what it means to be human in a deeply troubled world. You may think this is too ambitious a goal for such a little book. And you may be right. But then again, what goal was ever achieved without reaching for it? Besides, in this age of giant fart storms what harm can there be in having a little book burst a few bubbles? So my friend, I invite you to join Don Quixote and I in our quest for the truth. Who knows? You may even find some truths of your own.
Part I - The World: Lacking coherence - that balance that gives weight to the meaning of things - the world forces us to go deeper into the meaning of things or risk becoming labels in the shallow waters of discord.
Part II - America: America is adrift in a sea of euphemisms. Ambiguities cloud the agenda, and answers multiply like rabbits. Solving this riddle won't be easy, but it has to begin with a language that resonates more than it agitates.
Part III - Life: What has happened to the meaning of life? Is it nothing more than a time-clock that keeps ticking away until our shelf-life expires? Of course not - don't be silly - only our minds fell asleep. So welcome back my friend to the gauntlet of life.
Part IV - Three Miscellaneous Pieces: These poems are meant for everyone. Let the poems speak for themselves and you will find in them the simple images that contemplate the innumerable pleasures of life.
Having been born in a rooming house in Detroit in 1937, it was no wonder that I would learn that life could be equally beautiful or equally horrible. A contradiction that created in me an insatiable desire to learn more about the world around me. So I became a social worker - something that put me directly in the line of fire of what it meant to be human. Then came the family - that journey of unfathomable problems and exorbitant beauty. Finally, there is you my dear reader, who is at the end of dreams and the beginning of reality.
