Bøker av Joachim Hildebrand

Joachim Hildebrand travelled through the seven states of the American Southwest, in which the Wild West is located both geographically and in our imagination. Today, where the wilderness has been displaced by ''civilization,'' Hildebrand discovers entirely different scenes than those generally associated with the Wild West and the American frontier. Setting his sight on blurred contours, contradictions, borders, and transitions from urbanity to landscape, Hildebrand deconstructs the myths of the Wild West and the ''manifest destiny'', which are so essential for the self-understanding of the USA.
