Dispatches from rural America: sixteen essays

By: Berry, Wendell

Published by Counterpoint, 2026-10-27

"This new collection gathers together for the first time sixteen essays by one of our most revered chroniclers of life in America. A landmark commentary on family, faith, community, and the threats of modernization. Ranging from topics on the deadly effects of war on children to the endless problems of industrialism and the ubiquitous need for connection and community, Dispatches From Rural America captures a country isolated from its land and beginnings, too focused on mass production and output, and perilously estranged from the spiritual centers that make up the foundation of our lives"-- Provided by publisher.
