Description

New Mexico is a land with two faces. This is a land of enchantment, legendary for its natural beauty and wealthy cultural heritage. But it is usually a land of paradox. In The usa, New Mexico, Robert Leonard Reid explores deep inside New Mexico’s landscape to find the real New Mexico—with all of its gifts and challenges—within. Having traveled and hiked countless miles right through the state, Reid knows New Mexico’s breathtaking landscape intimately. But he knows the human landscape as well: its artists and poets, medicine men and businessmen, preachers and politicians, Hispanics and Anglos. He knows that amid the glittering mansions of Santa Fe there are homeless shelters, that the Indians of myth and legend combat alcoholism and poverty, and that toxic waste lurks beneath a land of almost surreal beauty. The usa, New Mexico is a book about land, sky, and hope by a author whose passion and inspiring prose invite us to see the promise and possibilities of reconnecting with the wildlife. It is unflinching in its depiction of the adversities facing New Mexicans and indeed all Americans. But above all, it searches in the back of and beyond these troubling issues to find, standing staunchly against them, a quiet and unshakable confidence rooted in New Mexico’s wildlife. For somebody who has ever been moved by the incomparable wonderful thing about New Mexico, for somebody concerned with the landscape in which all Americans live, The usa, New Mexico is an unforgettable book.
