In To Dwell Is to Garden, a distinguished scholar and a veteran photographer join forces to provide a history and a celebration of these urban oases and of the people who have made them possible. Sam Bass Warner, Jr., traces the origins of Boston's urban community gardens back to the English allotment gardens created to keep country folk from starving during the first great wave of urbanization. Warner suggests that today's urban community gardens owe their existence not to philanthropy or patriotism but to an activist impulse stemming from the civil rights movement, which emphasized self-help, local autonomy, and personal dignity to combat the problems of urban decay. The spirit of today's urban community gardens is captured in Hansi Durlach's compelling photographs of those individuals, young and old, who have worked together to clear the rubble and till the soil. From China and Chile, from Italy and Arkansas, from the suburbs and from next door, their comments, recorded by Durlach, linger in the mind and in the heart. Originally pubished by Northeastern University Press in 1987. With a new foreword by Jill Eshelman. 588 Description based on print version record. 590 Project Muse|bProject Muse Open Access 650 0 Vegetable gardening|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85142483|zMassachusetts|zBoston.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79045553-781 650 0 Gardeners|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85053087|zMassachusetts|zBoston|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n79045553-781|vPictorial works.|0https:/ /id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001272 650 0 Community gardens|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects /sh85029226|zMassachusetts|zBoston|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n79045553-781|vPictorial works.|0https:/ /id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001272 650 0 Community gardens|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects /sh85029226|xHistory.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh99005024 650 0 Community gardens|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects /sh85029226|zMassachusetts|zBoston|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n79045553-781|xHistory.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99005024 650 7 Vegetable gardening.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1164731 650 7 Gardeners.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/937845 650 7 Community gardens.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 870927 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 651 7 Massachusetts|zBoston.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast /1205012 655 0 Electronic books. 655 7 Pictorial works.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1423874 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 655 7 Electronic books. .|2local 655 7 Illustrated works.|2lcgft|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ genreForms/gf2014026111 655 7 Illustrated works.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1423873 700 1 Eshelman, Jill,|ewriter of foreword. 700 1 Durlach, Hansi,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n80083464|ephotographer. 710 2 Project Muse.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n96089174 710 2 Project Muse,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n96089174|edistributor. 830 0 Book collections on Project MUSE. 856 40 |zOnline eBook.
