American Zion is the story of the Bundy family, famous for their armed conflicts in the West. With an antagonism that goes back to the very first Mormons who fled the Midwest for the Great Basin, they hold a sense of entitlement that confronts both law and democracy. Today their cowboy confrontations threaten public lands, wild species, and American heritage. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

The conflicts sketched in this book are some of the most important... really it's hard to put them in any perspective. These conflicts are what make us unable to manage resources effectively, to live on the planet in any sustainable way. This book sketches our doom.
The topic is just too vast and too deep. Quammen kind of darts around and touches bits and pieces. It's a good preliminary sketch. To really grapple with the issues... truly daunting. Now we have the boogaloo boys using Black Lives Matter protests as cover for assassinations. It could be a thousand years before we get a Gibbon to survey the wreckage and provide the more thorough analysis that's called for. Until then, Quammen's sketch is a good start. ( )
