Seeing Like a Commons

In Seeing Like a Commons, Joshua P. Lockyer demonstrates how a growing group of people have, over the last 80 years, deliberately built the Celo Community, a communal settlement on 1,200 acres of commonly owned land in the Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina. Joshua P. Lockyer highlights the potential for intentional communities like Celo to raise awareness of global interconnectivity and structural inequalities, enabling people and communities to become better stewards and citizens of both local landscapes and global commons.
