This Is Not Topsoil - Paperback

by Sara Bissen (Author)

"I dig for soil, day and night. It fills my thoughts, my body, the city. What does debt want with me anyway? Erase me? Transform me into something else? It has already killed." This Is Not Topsoil is the sequel that erases and sacrifices the Author's previous work, Topsoil. Sara Bissen is a ruralist who focuses on the rural-urban conflict. She has researched receding and emerging rurality in the USA, Guatemala, Turkey and Italy. Besides several studies on farmer suicide, peripheral art, and forced migration, her publications include The City Smells of Decay (2016) and Topsoil (2015).
