This is a rendering of the author's childhood in rural Oklahoma, from the Dust Bowl days to the end of the Eisenhower era. Writer and journalist Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz bears witness to a family and community which still clings to the dream America as a republic of landowners. Drawing deeply on the stories, often biblical parables, she heard in her early years, Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz brings to life one of the least understood groups in US history: poor rural whites. They are the backbone of the national campaigns against abortion and for prayer in school. They are also soldiers of the militia movement and the members of a group who will come to trial this spring for the bombing of the Oklahoma City Federal Building. The book takes readers into the minds of these people, showing their sense of loss and their battered by still-clung-to faith. Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz is the author of "Roots of Resistance: Land Tenure in New Mexico", "The Great Sioux Nation" and "Indians of the Americas".
