Shelter from the Machine: Homesteaders in the Age of Capitalism"You're either buried with your crystals or your shotgun." That laconic comment captures the hippies versus hicks conflict that divides, and in some ways defines, modern day homesteaders. It also reveals that back to the landers, though they may seek lives off the grid, remain connected to the most pressing questions confronting the United States today. Jason Strange shows where homesteaders fit, and don't fit, within contemporary America. Blending
"You're either buried with your crystals or your shotgun." That laconic comment captures the hippies-versus-hicks conflict that divides, and in some ways defines, modern-day homesteaders. It also reveals that back to-the-landers, though they may seek lives off the grid, remain connected to the most pressing questions confronting the United States today. Jason Strange shows where homesteaders fit, and don't fit, within contemporary America. Blending history with personal stories, Strange visits pig roasts and bohemian work parties to find people engaged in a lifestyle that offers challenge and fulfillment for those in search of virtues like self-employment, frugality, contact with nature, and escape from the mainstream. He also lays bare the vast differences in education and opportunity that leave some homesteaders dispossessed while charting the tensions that arise when people seek refuge from the ills of modern society--only to find themselves indelibly marked by the system they dreamed of escaping.Binding Type: Paperback

Good attractive value
Color: 3676 ALL Black
This watch is a very good value imo. Looks like a quality watch. Band is adjustable and comes with a tool to assist in removing band pins. Keeping time very good. I would buy it again and will buy another in a different style

Within two weeks of normal wear, the watch quit keeping time and the band broke. Returned for a refund.
