Becoming Native to This Place - Hardcover
by Wes Jackson (Author)
The New World-this empty land dazzlingly rich in forests, soils, rainfall, and mineral wealth-was to represent a new beginning for civilized humanity. Unfortunately, even the best of the European settles had a stronger eye for conquest than for justice. Natives were in the way-surplus people who must be literally displaced. Now, as ecologist Wes Jackson points out, descendants of those early beneficiaries of conquest find themselves the displaced persons, forced to vacated the family farmsteads
In a ringing cry for a changed relation to the land, Jackson urges modern Americans to become truly native to this place--to base our culture and agriculture on nature's principles, to recycle as natural ecosystems have for millions of years.
