In Dwelling in Resistance, Chelsea Schelly portrays a range of residential living alternatives utilizing renewable, small-scale, de-centralized technologies. These technologies change how individuals and communities interact with the material world, their natural environment, and one another. Zusammenfassung Chelsea Schelly uses ethnographic research! participant observation! and numerous in-depth interviews to examine four alternative U.S. communities where individuals use electricity! water! heat! waste! food! and transportation technologies that differ markedly from those used by the vast majority of modern American residential dwellers.
