- 2 Want to read
"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."--BOOK JACKET.
