{"product_id":"the-urban-gardens-of-havana-ola-plonska-9783030126568","title":"The Urban Gardens of Havana: Seeking Revolutionary Plants in Ideologized Spaces","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book relates stories of everyday life revolving around small-scale urban gardens in Central Havana and focusing particularly on that of Marcelo, a seventy-four-year-old revolutionary and gardener. The urban gardens are contested spaces: though monitored and controlled by Cuban state institutions, they also offer possibilities of crafting life in resistance. The experiences the authors narrate are not 'thick descriptions, ' linked to larger political issues, but rather rhizomatic observations that highlight the relationships between humans and non-humans within the nature-culture debate. Using these experiences, the authors argue that 'the political' reaches beyond the affairs of state and governance and should be seen as an all-encompassing part of life. The authors thereby invite the social sciences to focus on the microscopic and the day-to-day to illuminate how the political affairs of lives can be imagined differently.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ola Plonska,Younes Saramifar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3030126560\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783030126568\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave Pivot\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/26\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 101\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.31d","brand":"Ola Plonska","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48089046548735,"sku":"9783030126568","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b76295a3-b091-4549-a51c-9b6872be4655.jpg?v=1769107905","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-urban-gardens-of-havana-ola-plonska-9783030126568","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
