Off the Map: An Expedition Deep into Empire and the Global Economy

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal
A psychologist, poet, and social activist, Glendinning uses many images to express her thoughts about the modern world. Here her views on imperialism and ecology are interspersed with descriptions of her horseback exploration of the northern New Mexico desert accompanied by an Indo-Hispanic cowboy named Snowflake Martinez. Glendinning leaps from discussions of world history to her own experiences of child abuse to the struggles of the Hispanic farmers of northern New Mexico, linking all these as facets of imperialism. She makes some interesting connections between these ideas, but her stream-of-consciousness style may be hard for some readers to follow. No translation is provided for the Spanish-language dialog, which will prevent some readers from fully understanding Glendinning's conversations with Snowflake and others.

Review
&doublequote;In this wonderful book, Chellis Glendinning reveals imperialism's legacy for us all, both the children of the oppressed and the children of the oppressors. Off the Map  is a work of great import for our time--and it's a marvelous read too.&doublequote;--Susan Griffin, author of Woman and Nature  and A Chorus of Stones   --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
