Encamped in the shadowlands of the republic, insisting that the Federal government had no right to own public land, the occupiers were seen by a divided country as either dangerous extremists dressed up as cowboys, or as heroes insisting on restoring the rule of the Constitution. From the Occupation's beginnings, to the trials of the occupiers in federal court in downtown Portland and their tumultuous aftermaths, \u003ci\u003eShadowlands \u003c\/i\u003eis the resonant, multifaceted story of one of the most dramatic flashpoints in the year that gave us Donald Trump. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSharing the expansive stage with the occupiers are a host of others--Native American tribal leaders, public-lands ranchers, militia members, environmentalists, federal defense attorneys, and Black Lives Matter activists--each contending in their different ways with the meaning of the American promise of Liberty. Gathering into its vortex the realities of social media technology, history, religion, race, and the environment--this piercing work by Anthony McCann offers us a combination of beautiful writing and high-stakes analysis of our current cultural and political moment. \u003ci\u003eShadowlands \u003c\/i\u003eis a clarifying, exhilarating story of a nation facing an uncertain future and a murky past in a time of great collective reckoning.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/02\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781635571202\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 448\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.10w x 1.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/15\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/13\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/15\/2019 pg. 14\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/25\/2019 pg. 1\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Anthony McCann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36663809999004,"sku":"9781635571202","price":25.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_391ba2c7-3f58-4157-a4b1-c0749646fd0d.jpg?v=1603905133","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/shadowlands-fear-and-freedom-at-the-oregon-standoff-9781635571202","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
