About this product
Product Information
Government Project tells the story of an attempt by theUS government to remake the lives of some of its citizens by establishing a cooperativefarm in Pinal County, Arizona, in 1937. These individuals were among the mostdesperately poor and disadvantaged in the nation. Casa Grande Valley Farms was an elaborate venture that providedthe Americans who volunteered to settle there with housing, work, and theopportunity to earn income. For five years, the farm succeeded. The revenuesfrom the sale of its crops gave the Casa Grande settlers material comfort andwealth far beyond what they had ever possessed. But in the farm's seventh year of operation, the inhabitantsshuttered it and walked away with hardly anything, to the shock and dismay ofthe government officials overseeing it. Government Project explains what went wrong at CasaGrande. In telling this story, it illuminates larger truths about human natureand the limits of governance.

Reviews
"Devotees of Aeschylus, Sophocles or Dreiser will understandthis book. With the relentlessness of a Greek tragedy, the story of thisResettlement Administration project . . . moves forward from relief anddestitution . . . through hope, then security, to the very brink of success,only to disintegrate." --Howard J. McMurray, AmericanPolitical Science Review "Sociologists will find much meat in this book for purposesof illustrating the processes of social interaction--conflict, co-operation, andattempts and failures at accommodation." --Lowry Nelson, AmericanJournal of Sociology

A pleasant overall experience! They had a rather hard-to-find book on Persian calligraphy for a good price and free shipping. The status said shipped before any tracking was uploaded so I messaged them the next day to ask them to provide a tracking number. They never responded, but tracking was added to my eBay details that night. It took about five days to get here to Los Angeles from LaVergne, Tennessee and came in a strong, secure envelope. The book was in good condition and as described.
