Greater Fort Worth Sierra Club Environmental Book Club: 'The Unsettling of America' - Arlington

Jul 11 2023 - 6:30pm
George W. Hawkes Downtown Library
101 S. Center St.
Arlington , TX

The book for our discussion will be The Unsettling of America: Culture and Agriculture.

From Goodreads: “Since its publication by Sierra Club Books in 1977, The Unsettling of America has been recognized as a classic of American letters. In it, Wendell Berry argues that good farming is a cultural development and spiritual discipline. Today’s agribusiness, however, takes farming out of its cultural context and away from families. As a result, we as a nation are more estranged from the land — from the intimate knowledge, love, and care of it."

Come to the meeting for the discussion whether you have read the book or not. At this meeting we will also discuss the next environmental/nature book or article we want to read.
