Patrick Ulmer patrick_ulmer — This isn't a review, just some of the notes I made while reading this book last Fall: "The thing that strikes me so profoundly about all of these goofy hippies' negative homesteading experiences is that they ultimately couldn't shed their middle class values and that's why they couldn't make it work. They failed to adapt to an alternative lifestyle because they weren't of that persuasion before they moved out to the land. They had straight jobs where they were generally upwardly mobile, marriages, kids, credit cards, car payments, etc. It's not like they were living in a way that was against the mainstream, or that they even had non-mainstream values. They were kind of being cultural tourists and didn't have any context for what they were trying to do. Examples: One informant's unwillingness to table dive from her work where she was a waitress, despite being hungry all the time due to her martyr-like poverty. And, wow, whining about how hard it is to not be able to use paper towels and still have a clean environmental conscience. The arc of the book's narrative is predictable: young straight married white folks tire of their normal lives, discover the Whole Earth Catalog, become convinced that homesteading is the answer, move to rural New York or Maine or some other place that's most inhospitable in the winter, try to live the way they did in the suburbs and have the same expectations of each other, become totally disillusioned and dismiss alternative lifestyles as a result, tell the story 25 years later as successful middle-aged straight re-married white folks. This book really made me think about how necessary it is to have a really strong belief in your reasons for trying to live independently and sustainably. I wondered if, superimposing this experience onto those of my generation, those of us who are deeply invested in DIY or radically alternative lifestyles are going to necessarily stay that way well into middle age. The ex-hippies interviewed for this book were left with no faith in things like participatory economics, collective ownership, consensus-based decision making. They just wrote it all off completely because they couldn't make it work."
