Off the Map : an expedition deep into imperialism, the global economy, and other earthly whereabouts

"In this book, Chellis Glendinning charts the course of empire across countries and continents and on into individual minds, hearts, and bodies - and it all happens within the story of her horseback ride through the wilds of New Mexico with her friend the Indo-Hispanic vaquero, Snowflake Martinez."--BOOK JACKET. "As their dreamlike journey unfolds, Chellis and Snowflake strive to understand the results of their ancestors' fatal encounter - hers, the "people of empire"; his, "the colonized"--weaving together current events with their childhood memories and the forces of history to reveal the extent of imperialism's legacy - and to find a way "off the map," to a more hopeful future for us all."--Jacket
