Summary:
"An intimate portrait of the joys and hardships of
rural
life, as one man searches for community, equality, and tradition in Appalachia. Charles D. Thompson, Jr. was born in southwestern Virginia into an extended family of small farmers. Yet as he came of age he witnessed the demise of every farm in his family.
Over
the course of his own life of farming,
rural
education, organizing, and activism, the stories of his
home
place have been his constant inspiration, helping him identify with the losses of others and to fight against injustices. In
Going
Over
Home
, Thompson shares revelations and reflections, from cattle auctions with his grandfather to community gardens in the coal camps of eastern Kentucky, racial disparities of white and Black landownership in the South to recent work with migrant farm workers from Latin America. In this heartfelt first-person narrative, Thompson unpacks our country's agricultural myths and addresses the history of racism and wealth inequality and how they have come to bear on our nation's
rural
places and their people." --Back cover.
