Coming to Ground ($279.99)

Documenting agricultural history as Kentucky farmers  experience the dismantling of the tobacco economy for a more sustainable one.

Augmented by interviews with such renowned scholars as David Harvey and Edward Soja, Hybrid City depicts the class and cultural separations and polarizations that are now present in new urban architecture and landscapes, the triumph of finance capital, and the diminishing rights to the city of marginalized social groups in the world urban centers.
