Nomadland
Surviving America in the Twenty-First Century
Jessica Bruder
Discover the hidden world of America's growing community of nomads - a labor pool of transient older adults that has emerged in the aftermath of the Great Recession. From the beet fields of North Dakota to Amazon's CamperForce program in Texas, these individuals have taken to the road in search of work, forming a resilient and creative community of wanderers. Nomadland sheds light on the dark underbelly of the American economy while celebrating the hope, resilience, and resourcefulness of these individuals. Don't miss the highly anticipated major motion picture adaptation.
