The Back-to-the-Land Movement during the Great Depression.
Couch, Jim F.
Southern Social Studies Journal, v23 n1 p60-67 Fall 1997
Reviews one of the little-known failures of the New Deal social programs. The Subsistence Homestead Division and the Resettlement Administration attempted to resettle urban slum dwellers in autonomous garden cities and submarginal farmers in new farm villages. Discusses the reasons these communal efforts failed and provides suggested teaching activities. (MJP)
