520    One of the more welcome changes in Boston's urban 
       landscape has been the recent transformation of abandoned 
       lots in to flourishing community gardens. 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.
