Synopsis
Imperial is the youngest and poorest county in California and one of the main producers of winter vegetables, salads, grain, and alfalfa in the United States. The demand for water is enormous―old water rights ensure Imperial County vast quantities of water from the Colorado River. Here, hard-working people, especially Hispanics, labor in the fields to the point of exhaustion, while the homeless, the displaced, and the downshifters live the flip-side of the American Dream. Berlin-based photographer Lars Borges dedicates his book project to these people in an effort to point out the effects of unbridled global capitalism on humans and nature.

Gebundene Ausgabe. Condition: Wie neu. Gebraucht - Wie neu Ungelesen, vollständig, sehr guter Zustand, leichte Lagerspuren, als Mängelexemplar gekennzeichnet -Imperial County ist der jüngste und ärmste Landkreis Kaliforniens. Obwohl es in derColorado Wüste auf der San-Andreas-Verwerfung liegt und dort Höchsttemperaturen von bis zu 50° C und mit Niederschlag von nur 75 Millimeter im Jahr lebensfeindliche Bedingungen herrschen, ist es einer der Hauptproduzenten von Wintergemüse, Salaten, Korn und Alfalfa in den USA. Der Wasserbedarf ist gigantisch - alte Wasserrechte sichern dem Imperial County riesige Mengen des Wassers aus dem Colorado River, das durch ein Netz aus Kanälen und Pipelines in ein Gebiet so groß wie die gesamte Metropolregion Los Angeles gepumpt wird: das größte Bewässerungssystem des nordamerikanischen Kontinents. Die Arbeitslosigkeit ist die zweitgrößte in den USA - die Einkommen sind am unteren Ende im sonst reichen Kalifornien. Hart arbeitende Menschen, vornehmlich Hispanoamerikaner, schuften in der Landwirtschaft bis zur Erschöpfung, und Heimatlose, Vertriebene und Aussteiger leben hier die Anti-These des amerikanischen Traums. In eindrucksvollen Landschaftsbeschreibungen und Porträts widmet der Berliner Fotograf Lars Borges sein Buchprojekt diesen Menschen, um exemplarisch auf die Auswirkungen eines entfesselten globalen Kapitalismus für Mensch und Natur hinzuweisen. 1 pp. Deutsch, Englisch.
