Inhalt:
Drawing upon deep ethnographic fieldwork, and written in lively prose that weaves together story and evidence, this text explores contemporary homesteading in Appalachia as a means of resistance to capitalist modernity. It is framed around two questions: Why are people still pursuing rural subsistence? And why are they often divided into two main groups, known to each other - not always kindly - as 'hicks' and 'hippies'? These turn out to be urgent questions, considering that the cultural divide between these two groups is one instance of the dangerous and growing schism between 'liberal' and 'conservative' in the contemporary United States.
