-Among the significant discussions in this well-written comparative judgment on the so-called -New Agrarians- are Liberty Hyde Bailey's leadership in a -back to the farm- movement; Carle C. Zimmerman's fascination with the growth of -suburban- populations; Ralph Borsodi and the idea of the autonomous homestead; Louis Bromfield's desire to reconstruct farm life and people by social engineering; the Tennessee Agrarians, who championed tax reform, subsidized loans, free trade, and the restoration of subsistence farming; Herbert Agar's advocacy of American -distributionism- to counter capitalism's destruction of rural private property; Father Luigi Ligutti's causes of increasing the rural Catholic population and proclaiming the central role of religious faith in a realistic New Agrarianism; and Wendell Berry's hostility to technological innovations and attacks on the dehumanization of home, family, and community.... Upper-division undergraduates and up.- --C. W. Haury, Choice -The book is splendidly detailed, a definitive work on its subject, clear and coherent, a well-digested mass of source material... [L]et me recommend it as a vast storehouse of sources, of detailed research and exploration of its subject.- - Peter Hunt, The Chesterton Review -The book is carefully crafted, well written and should appeal especially to political scientists, economists, sociologists, social historians, and those nostalgic people whose antecedents are rooted in the family farm prior to World War II.- - R. Alton Lee, Journal of Church and State -Carlson 'provides a lucid and thoroughly-learned survey of agrarianism's 20th century advocates.' This concise and richly informative book is the single best source on New Agrarianism's perspective.... Anyone wishing to learn what agrarianism has to offer should start here.- - John Attarian, Culture Wars -Allan Carlson, who has written prolifically and with insight on issues relating to the family, surveys a series of agrarian thinkers [in The New Agrarian Mind] spanning the twentieth century, beginning with Liberty Hyde Bailey and concluding with present-day author Wendell Berry. His assessment is mixed, as it should be. ... Allan Carlson has written...a book of unusual insight, one that is at once sympathetic to New Agrarian concerns and critical of their often serious misjudgments.- - Thomas E. Woods, Modern Age "Among the significant discussions in this well-written comparative judgment on the so-called "New Agrarians" are Liberty Hyde Bailey's leadership in a "back to the farm" movement; Carle C.
