The Caldwell Farm: A Sense of Himself in Forty Acres
Thomas Dyja is a noted novelist and biographer. His survey of post-war Âé¶čAPP, âThe Third Coast,â was selected by the Âé¶čAPP Public Library for the 2015-16 âOne Book, One Âé¶čAPPâ initiative. Other works of note include the award-winning âOn the High Lineâ and the biography "Walter White: The Dilemma of Black Identity in America."
This lecture marks the first of five installments in âAlfred Caldwell and the Performance of Democracy,â a series of multi-site programs that address a diverse range of geographies and constituencies to amplify access, interpretations, and new scholarship on Caldwell. Dyjaâs contribution aims to expand the latent discourse of landscape architecture in the Midwest.
