In this exquisite rendering of her childhood in rural Oklahoma, from the Dust Bowl days to the end of the Eisenhower era, Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz bears witness to a family and community which still clings to the dream of America as a republic of landowners.

Descriere

Drawing deeply on the stories she heard in her early years, journalist Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz brings to life one of the least understood groups in US historypoor rural whites, who still cling to the dream of America as a republic of landowners. They are against abortion and for prayer in school; and some of them are members of the militia movement, allegedly behind the Oklahoma City bombing.
