Description
Nomadland is a revelatory tale of the dark underbelly of the American economy, one that foreshadows the precarious future that may await many of us. It celebrates the exceptional resilience and creativity of people who have given up ordinary rootedness to survive, but have not given up hope.
From the beetroot fields of North Dakota to the campgrounds of California, a growing community of nomads has taken to the road by the tens of thousands in RVs and modified vans. Employers have discovered a new, low-cost labour pool, made up largely of transient older adults, who have formed a unique and vibrant community.
This book sheds light on a hidden world, one that is both disturbing and thought-provoking. It is a powerful exploration of the human spirit and its ability to adapt in the face of adversity.
