The book is a work of political archaeology: it focuses on the
people and events at a particular colonial farm in Germantown,
Pennsylvania. The peoples' and farm's stories provide a micro and
macro view of economic, social, demographic, and agro-ecological
change. Cresheim Farm shows how one mostly unknown but
strategically placed piece of land - home to an extraordinary array
of people, including anti-slavery and anti-Nazi activists, the
first woman editor of the Saturday Evening Post and a robber baron
- can tell, affect and reflect the history of a nation. The writing
is historically grounded and academic, future-oriented, deeply
researched, and immediate. Cresheim Farm serves as a lens through
which to observe and magnify social forces, such as the launching
point of freedom and democracy movements, white privilege, slavery,
and genocidal westward expansion. The past lives on in all of us.
