Food for Thought January Book ‘We Are as Gods’

On Jan. 7, at 6 p.m. the Food For Thought Book Club will discuss “We Are as Gods” by Kate Daloz.
Between 1970 and 1974 ten million Americans abandoned the city, and the commercialism, and all the inauthentic bourgeois comforts of the Eisenhower-era America of their parents. Instead, they went back to the land. It was the only time in modern history that urbanization has gone into reverse.
Kate Daloz follows the dreams and ideals of a small group of back-to-the-landers to tell the story of a nationwide movement and moment. And she shows how the faltering, hopeful, but impractical impulses of that first generation sowed the seeds for the organic farming movement and the transformation of American agriculture and food tastes.
The Food For Thought Book Club meets the first Wednesday of Every Month in the Gozzer Room at the library. The book club is offered in partnership with the Inland Northwest Food Network.
