Description for Going Over Home: A Search for Rural Justice in an Unsettled Land
Review Booklist, Starred Review? 'This book deserves a place next to the writings of Wendell Berry, Henry David Thoreau, and Michael Pollan.'�This book isn�t just the story of one person�s lifelong fight for justice for family farmers and rural communities. Going Over Home is a call that inspires the reader to stand shoulder to shoulder with family farmers in their daily struggle. It puts into words why all of us at Farm Aid believe in family farmers and rural America, and why their survival matters to all of us?no matter where we live.�?Willie Nelson, president, Farm Aid�Going Over Home bears eloquent witness to Charlie Thompson�s path toward a homegrown revolution of the heart, first illuminated by listening to many voices, then achieved by acting in solidarity with those who struggle for equality and inclusion along the wailing walls that America is building between itself and its own heart. Thompson�s exemplary memoir confronts our separate and unequal pasts and gives us a heartfelt but clear-eyed narrative of American agricultural life and a bridge toward wholeness in a broken time.�?Rev. Dr. William J. Barber, II, codirector of the Poor People�s Campaign; coauthor of The Third Reconstruction�Told through moving stories of kinship and solidarity, Going Over Home brings much needed dimension and heart to our conversations about rural life and shows the strength of our bonds when love of place is animated by justice.�?Elizabeth Catte, author of What You Are Getting Wrong About Appalachia�Charles D. Thompson, Jr.�s memoir isn�t just a personal snapshot of some of the most important North American agrarian movements and thinkers.
