In \u003ci\u003eDwelling in Resistance\u003c\/i\u003e, Chelsea Schelly examines four alternative U.S. communities-“The Farm,” “Twin Oaks,” “Dancing Rabbit,” and “Earthships”-where electricity, water, heat, waste, food, and transportation practices differ markedly from those of the vast majority of Americans.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Schelly portrays a wide range of residential living alternatives utilizing renewable, small-scale, de-centralized technologies. These technologies considerably change how individuals and communities interact with the material world, their natural environment, and one another. Using in depth interviews and compelling ethnographic observations, the book offers an insightful look at different communities’ practices and principles and their successful endeavors in sustainability and self-sufficiency.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e1 What Does it Mean to Dwell in Resistance?                      \u003cbr\u003e 2 What “\u003cbr\u003eNormal”\u003cbr\u003e Dwelling Looks Like: The History of Home Technologies\u003cbr\u003e 3 Custodians of the Earth, Witnesses to Transition: The Story of the Farm      \u003cbr\u003e 4 The Abundance of the Commons: Twin Oaks and the Plentitude Ethic       \u003cbr\u003e 5 Individualism and Symbiosis: The Dance at Dancing Rabbit    \u003cbr\u003e 6 Self-Sufficiency as Social Justice: The Case of Earthship Biotecture                \u003cbr\u003e 7 Dwelling in Resistance\u003cbr\u003e                                                                \u003cbr\u003e Appendix: Reflections and Lessons on Method\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgements                                                         \u003cbr\u003e References                                                                                                                       \u003cbr\u003e Index              \u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Rutgers University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52563704807704,"sku":"9780813586519","price":85.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/dwelling-in-resistance-living-with-alternative-technologies-in-america-hardback-9780813586519","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
