Omschrijving
"In each volume, historical, cultural and biographical essays are interspersed with photographs and maps that inform and revise our understanding of America’s most storied places."
"In each volume, historical, cultural and biographical essays are interspersed with photographs and maps that inform and revise our understanding of America’s most storied places."
"Solnit’s [. . . , Snedecker's, and Jelly-Schapiro's] atlases masterfully chart great leaps of technology that have built our contemporary cities: the great work in filling shorelines, of building bridges, of creating ingenious public transit. But they also display the cost. Solnit’s project responds to the subjugating gaze of the traditional atlas by portraying her city through populist, communitarian stories."
Rebecca Solnit is a writer, historian, and activist. She is the author of twenty books on feminism, western and indigenous history, popular power, social change and insurrection, wandering and walking, and hope and disaster. These include the recent Men Explain Things to Me and The Mother of All Questions. Joshua Jelly-Schapiro is a geographer, writer, and regular contributor to The New York Review of Books. He is the author of Island People: The Caribbean and the World. Rebecca Snedeker is an Emmy Award winning documentary filmmaker and writer whose work supports human rights, creative expression, and her native city, New Orleans.
