A Journey into the Hidden Wars of the American West
Omschrijving
A beautiful, absorbing, tragic book. . . . Rebecca Solnit tells this story with the passion and clarity it deserves.--Larry McMurtry Savage Dreams summons us to the campfires of resistance.--Mike Davis, author of City of Quartz Savage Dreams is about many things: despoliation and restoration, finding a voice between contemporary noise and silence, making friends and enemies. Most of all, though, it may be about a journey into history: about how understanding history and making it are not really very different.--Greil Marcus, author of Lipstick Traces A wonderful and important book, weaving past and present, politics and spirituality, land and history, pleasure and outrage, esthetics and activism, into a map where we as Americans find ourselves today. Intellectually challenging but beautifully written and eminently readable, Savage Dreams has both heart and teeth. --Lucy Lippard, author of Overlay: Contemporary Art and the Art of Prehistory
