Summary:

"This book is a fictional narrative of the headspace of current day white supremacists, nationalists, accelerationists, and their sympathizers in America. It is an attempt to see and know the many activities and contradictions of hatred, bias, cynicism, and conspiracy rooted in propagandized words and symbols. It is also an invitation for those ignorant of these ideologies to see these people within their own communities, and to be brave enough to confront and deradicalize them "--Colophon.

Notes:

Title from spine.

Edition of 50.

Contains two multi-page foldouts.

Part of the colophon is folded and laid in.

"The first iterations of this book were created using symbols from the Anti-Defamation League's hate symbol database. Since the October 7th attacks on Isreal, ADL has perpetuated a one-sided narrative that dehumanizes and erases Palestinian history. They justify Israel's genocide and ethnic cleansing of Gaza as self-defense, and subsequently poison their own mission to 'secure justice and fair treatment to all'. ... An initial version of This Land Is Your Land was completed in 2021, then edited and editioned in 2023"--Colophon.

"This book makes use of different types of cheap papers, physically torn pages, and two multi-level foldouts with the max foldout size at 22 x 17 in. Materials exude a cheapness aligned with the capitalistic undergirding of the American society churning out these mentalities as products. It must flaunt its ordinariness; thus its naked book boards with packing tape, exposed spine, printer paper mixed with a cheap glossy photo paper, and facsimile rips caked on broken sidewalks."--Artist statement.
