Journalist Sarah van Gelder suspected that there were solutions, and she went looking for them, not in the centers of power, where people are richly rewarded for their allegiance to the status quo, but off the beaten track, in rural communities, small towns, and neglected urban neighborhoods. She bought a used pickup truck and camper and set off on a 12,000-mile journey through eighteen states, dozens of cities and towns, and five Indian reservations. From the ranches of Montana to the coalfields of Kentucky to the urban cores of Chicago and Detroit, van Gelder discovered people and communities who are remaking America from the ground up. Join her as she meets the quirky and the committed, the local heroes and the healers who, under the mass media's radar, are getting stuff done. The common thread running through their work was best summed up by a phrase she saw on a mural in Newark: ?We the People LOVE This Place.? That connection we each have to our physical and ecological place, and to our human community, is where we find our power and our best hopes for a new America. 410 0$aBK currents book. 606 $aSocial action$zUnited States 606 $aCommunity development$zUnited States 606 $aSocial justice$zUnited States 606 $aSocial problems$zUnited States 606 $aSocial change$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xDescription and travel 615 0$aSocial action 615 0$aCommunity development 615 0$aSocial justice 615 0$aSocial problems 615 0$aSocial change 676 $a361.3 700 $aVan Gelder$b Sarah$01517000 702 $aGlover$b Danny 801 0$bMiFhGG 801 1$bMiFhGG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910798994903321 996 $aThe revolution where you live$93759483 997 $aUNINA
