Rutgers University Press Dwelling in Resistance - Rutgers University Press Book

Explore how alternative living models redefine our relationship with the world. In Dwelling in Resistance, Chelsea Schelly examines four unique U.S. communities: The Farm, Twin Oaks, Dancing Rabbit, and Earthships. These groups operate through practices that differ from the standard American lifestyle, specifically regarding electricity, water, heat, waste, food, and transportation. This book provides a look at residential living alternatives that utilize renewable, small-scale, and de-centralized technologies. By studying these communities, readers gain insight into how different technological choices change the way individuals and communities interact with their environment. It is an essential read for those interested in sustainability, green design, and the social impact of alternative infrastructure.
