Description: Nomadland: Surviving America in the Twenty-First Century Hardcover Good Condition Nomadland: Surviving America in the Twenty-First Century is a 2017 nonfiction book by American journalist Jessica Bruder about the phenomenon of older Americans who, following the Great Recession from 2007 to 2009, adopted transient lifestyles traveling around the United States in search of seasonal work (vandwelling). The book explores the growing community of nomads, or migrant laborers, who live in RVs, travel trailers, and vans. Bruder spent three years traveling with the nomads, observing their daily lives and accompanying them on tasks like cleaning campgrounds, scanning warehouse products, and harvesting beets. The book explores the impact of the Great Recession on these Americans, who often struggle with mortgages and social security. Many of them have given up the comforts of modern living, like food, household expenses, and debt, in exchange for the freedom of homelessness, or "houselessness" as they prefer to call it. The book also examines the psychological effects of economic depression on people, especially the elderly. Bruder's work is described as immersive, empathetic journalism that celebrates the resilience and creativity of these Americans. Some say the book is eye-opening and compelling, and that Bruder has done a great job of bringing the people she met to life. Others say it's relevant today and that readers who enjoy subculture and the economy will find it interesting.Fast Shipping, Securely Packaged Buy with confidence. eBay member since 2002 (21 years) with great feedback.
