Note(s) : "This philosophical essay asks us to think differently about our democratic relationship
to national parks. It focuses on Big Bend and Death Valley as two parks that stand
in problematic relation to the park idea. The first is situated at the US/Mexico border
and is implicated in issues about security and safety, expectations of surveillance
and reporting, and even ecological concepts such as native versus invasive species,
all of which are inflected by tensions particular to keeping undocumented Mexican
immigrants out of American space. The second park is home to the Timbisha Shoshone
Tribe, and foregrounds questions of what a homeland is and for whom. The tribe has
lived there for centuries, but as of the Homeland Act of 2000, its members are the
only people who have the right to live on park grounds, through which non-Timbisha
US citizens merely pass as "visitors." These two parks are thus places where the relationships
between ideas of nation, ownership, belonging, foreignness, and home are uniquely
complicated and on display."--Publisher's description. - Bibliogr. p. 83-91
