- Summary:
- Today, Globalization. Yesterday, Empire. Imperialism in whatever guise is the same through time, penetrating every area of our lives, affecting whole cultures as well as the deep core of individuals. And maps have been the tools of empire, defining the territory to be exploited. Off the Map is a unique exploration of globalization. Traveling 'off the map' on horseback through the ancestral lands of her friend and traveling companion Snowflake Martinez, Chellis Glendinning probes the full extent of empire's legacy. From the recently colonized Chicano world of New Mexico, through the last 300 years of Western imperialism, to the individual scars within minds, hearts, and bodies, she reveals the political to be deeply personal. But there are ways forward, and hope resides in our ability to create new maps that chart worlds fashioned by love, and respect for community, place, and nature. A multiple award winner in hardcover, this paperback edition is revised and updated, and includes a foreword by Kevin Danaher of Global Exchange in San Francisco.
