Undermining : a wild ride through land use, politics, and art in the changing West
Lucy R. Lippard (Author)
"Working from her own lived experience in a New Mexico village and inspired by gravel pits in the landscape, Lippard weaves a number of fascinating themes - among them fracking, mining, land art, adobe buildings, ruins, Indian land rights, the Old West, tourism, photography, and water - into a tapestry that illuminates the relationship between culture and the land. From threatened Native American sacred sites to the history of uranium mining, she offers a skeptical examination of the "subterranean economy""--Back cover
