From Pulitzer Prize finalist and National Book Critics Circle Award–winning author of Newjack, a passage through an America lived wild and off the grid, where along with independence and stunning views come fierce winds, neighbors with criminal pasts, and minimal government and medical services “In these dispatches, [Conover] invites readers to ride shotgun along an unraveling edge of the American West, where sepia-toned myths about making a fresh start collide with modern modes of alienation, volatility, and exile.... In a nation whose edges have come to define its center, this is essential reading.”—Jessica Bruder, author of Nomadland: Surviving America in the Twenty-First Century In May 2017, Ted Conover went to Colorado to explore firsthand a rural way of life that is about living cheaply, on your own land—and keeping clear of the mainstream. The failed subdivisions of the enormous San Luis Valley make this possible. Five-acre lots on the high prairie can be had for five thousand dollars, sometimes less. Conover volunteered for a local group trying to prevent homelessness during the bitter winters. He encountered an unexpected diversity: veterans with PTSD, families homeschooling, addicts young and old, gay people, people of color, lovers of guns and marijuana, people with social anxiety—most of them spurning charity and aiming, and sometimes failing, to be self-sufficient. And more than a few predicting they’ll be the last ones standing when society collapses. Conover bought his own five acres and immersed himself for parts of four years in the often contentious culture of the far margins. He found many who dislike the government but depend on its subsidies; who love their space but nevertheless find themselves in each other’s business; who are generous but wary of thieves; who endure squalor but appreciate beauty. In their struggles to survive and get along, they tell us about an America riven by difference where the edges speak more and more loudly to the mainstream.

Zwischen Zivilisation und Niemandsland – eine herausragende Reportage von der letzten Frontier der USA Die meisten Amerikanerinnen und Amerikaner haben noch nie vom San Luis Valley gehört: einer flachen, weiten Prärielandschaft mitten im Nirgendwo. Das riesige Gebiet ist nicht erschlossen, trotzdem leben hier Menschen ihren Traum vom eigenen Landbesitz – und von einem besseren Leben. Wer sind die Männer und Frauen, die verstreut in Wohnwagen leben, sich ihren Lebensunterhalt mit Marihuana-Anbau oder Goldschürfen verdienen? Und was können sie uns über Amerika erzählen? Ted Conover gilt als einer der größten Journalisten seiner Generation. Über Jahre hinweg lernt er die Bewohner der sogenannten Flats immer besser kennen. Er trifft Veteranen, Kriminelle, Waffen-Liebhaber und religiöse Fundamentalisten. Prepper, Trump-Jünger und Verschwörungstheoretiker. Aber er macht auch die Bekanntschaft von intakten Familien, erlebt Gastfreundschaft und immer wieder ein starkes Gemeinschaftsgefühl. Meisterhaft taucht Ted Conover in seinem neuen Buch in das Leben dieser Einsiedler ein – und kehrt mit einem unvergesslichen Porträt eines vergessenen Teils der heutigen amerikanischen Gesellschaft zurück. So gelingt ihm nicht weniger als ein atmosphärisches dichtes Stimmungsbild einer gespaltenen Nation. »Einer unserer großen erzählenden Journalisten.« The New York Times »Mit seiner gründlichen und einfühlsamen Reportage beschwört Conover eine lebendige, geheimnisvolle Subkultur herauf, die von Männern und Frauen bevölkert wird, die fesselnde Geschichten zu erzählen haben.« The Washington Post Ted Conover (Jg. 1958) ist Journalist, Schriftsteller und lehrt als Professor an der New York University. Er gilt als ein Meister der immersiven Reportage und veröffentlichte u. a. im New York Times Magazine, dem New Yorker und im Atlantic. Er wurde mit dem National Book Critics Circle Award ausgezeichnet und für den Pulitzer Prize nominiert. Nach Vorhof der Hölle (2001) und Die Wege der Menschen (2011) ist Cheap Land Colorado sein erstes Buch bei Droemer Knaur.

Lured by the promise of land and opportunity, miners, cowhands, laborers, settlers and fortune-seekers poured into Colorado during the mid-to-late 19th Century and into the 20th. To accommodate the population boom, industrious Coloradoans built scores of hotels some elaborate, some modest, all a touchstone to this critical era in Centennial State history. Join Alexandra Walker Clark on this tour through Colorado's historic hotels. Discover how the Oxford and Brown Palace Hotels have managed to maintain their elegance, while others such as the Timberline Hotel of Holy Cross City and the California Hotel of Independence have vanished. With timeless recipes from hotel kitchens, learn how hotels have adapted to eras like the Native American desertion and the Roaring Twenties.

In the current moment, ethnography is caught up in a number of debates that have led ethnographers to reflect on classic methodological and ethical dilemmas in new ways. The “replication crisis” had led to a movement for “open science” (e.g., registering hypotheses in advance; sharing codes and data), but it seems unclear that recommended best practices are appropriate to ethnography. It’s even up for debate whether ethnography is more of a social science or a genre. The fact that many ethnographies are widely read invites questions and criticisms from beyond the ivory tower–including our subjects–about the ethics of representation (e.g., who has license to write about whom) and the extent to which journalistic standards of data verification and transparency (e.g., fact checking, naming sources) should apply to qualitative research. Some ethnographers are calling for more open, critical discussions about the embodied dimensions of fieldwork, including not only emotions but also issues like sexual intimacy and harassment. There’s also a growing expectation that ethnographers empower our subjects to represent and analyze themselves. What’s more, as more of social life is lived online, it becomes increasingly unclear where the boundaries of the “field site” should be drawn and whether ethnographic conventions can be applied wholesale to the study of digital spaces.

In the early days on the Colorado frontier, women took care of family and neighbors because accepting that were all in this together was the only realistic survival strategyon the high plains, along the Front Range, in the mountain towns, and on the Western Slope. As dangerous occupations became fundamental to Colorados economy, if they were injured or got sick there was no one to care for the young men who worked as miners, steel workers, cowboys, and railroad construction workers in remote parts of Colorado. So physicians, surgeons, nurses, Catholic Sisters, Reform and Orthodox Jews, Protestants, and other humanitarians established hospitals andwhen Colorado became a mecca for people with tuberculosissanatoriums. Those pioneers and the communities they served created our community-based humanitarian healthcare tradition. These stories about our Wild West heritage honor the legacy of our 19th-century healthcare pioneers and will inspire and entertain 21st-century readers. Because we can be inspired only if we understand the factsand because facts are more likely to be understood when presented in contextthis chronology includes national and international developments that establish an indispensable frame of reference for understanding how our pioneers created the local-community-based healthcare system that weve inherited.
