This collection of writings, assembled at a time of crisis for NYC community gardens, imagines the radical possibilities of urban gardening. Bringing together NYC history, political analysis, utopian schemes, poetic accounts of what gardening can create, and investigations into the dynamics of sustainability, community, high and low technologies, and power, this book challenges the Supermarket to the World ideologies of global capital. Includes work by Sarah Ferguson, Jack Collom, Carmelo Ruiz, the editors, and others.

"Materialism's hunger will never be sated by consumption"

3 žvaigždutės

Random slice of 1998 guerilla urban gardening, essays calling for a Lower East Side Autonomous Zone, reporting on specific garden sites histories and fight back against Giuliani's redevelopment auctions, and broader takes on biotech, horticulture vs agriculture, and more from NYC and Madison WI. Eerily relevant in strange and mixed ways, the editor is concretely-and-earthly dismissive of a friend who "recently told me he was devoting himself to fighting fascism on the internet".
