Nomadland

Surviving America in the Twenty-First Century

AvJessica Bruder

Tillfälligt slut

From the beet fields of North Dakota to the National Forest campgrounds of California to Amazon’s CamperForce program in Texas, employers have discovered a new, low-cost labor pool, made up largely of transient older Americans. Finding that social security comes up short, often underwater on mortgages, these invisible casualties of the Great Recession have taken to the road by the tens of thousands in late-model RVs, travel trailers, and vans, forming a growing community of nomads: migrant laborers who call themselves “workampers.”On frequently traveled routes between seasonal jobs, Jessica Bruder meets people from all walks of life: a former professor, a McDonald’s vice president, a minister, a college administrator, and a motorcycle cop, among many others—including her irrepressible protagonist, a onetime cocktail waitress, Home Depot clerk, and general contractor named Linda May.In a secondhand vehicle she christens “Van Halen,” Bruder hits the road to get to know her subjects more intimately. Accompanying Linda May and others from campground toilet cleaning to warehouse product scanning to desert reunions, then moving on to the dangerous work of beet harvesting, Bruder tells a compelling, eye-opening tale of the dark underbelly of the American economy—one that foreshadows the precarious future that may await many more of us. At the same time, she celebrates the exceptional resilience and creativity of these quintessential Americans who have given up ordinary rootedness to survive. Like Linda May, who dreams of finding land on which to build her own sustainable “Earthship” home, they have not given up hope.

One day in the spring of 2013, a box appeared outside a fourth-floor apartment door in Brooklyn, New York. The recipient, who didn't know the sender, only knew she was supposed to bring this box to a friend, who would ferry it to another friend. This was Edward Snowden's box-printouts of documents proving that the US government had built a massive surveillance apparatus and used it to spy on its own people-and the friend on the end of this chain was filmmaker Laura Poitras.Thus the biggest national security leak of the digital era was launched via a remarkably analog network, the US Postal Service. This is just one of the odd, ironic details that emerges from the story of how Jessica Bruder and Dale Maharidge, two experienced journalists but security novices (and the friends who received and ferried the box) got drawn into the Snowden story as behind-the-scenes players. Their initially stumbling, increasingly paranoid, and sometimes comic efforts to help bring Snowden's leaks to light, and ultimately, to understand their significance, unfold in an engrossing narrative that includes emails and diary entries from Poitras. This is an illuminating essay on the status of transparency, privacy, and trust in the age of surveillance.

Desde los campos de remolacha de Dakota del Norte hasta los campamentos de National Forest de California y el programa CamperForce de Amazon en Texas, los empleadores han descubierto un nuevo grupo de mano de obra de bajo costo, compuesto principalmente por temporeros estadounidenses adultos.Al descubrir que el Seguro Social se queda corto y ahogados por las hipotecas, decenas de miles de estas víctimas invisibles de la Gran Recesión se han echado a la carretera en vehículos recreativos, remolques de viaje y furgonetas, formando una creciente comunidad de nómadas: migrantes trabajadores que se autodenominan workampers. En un vehículo de segunda mano que bautiza "Van Halen", Jessica Bruder sale a la carretera para conocer a estos sujetos más de cerca.Acompañando a su irreprimible protagonista Linda May y a otras personas en la limpieza de inodoros de un campamento, en el escaneo de productos en un almacén, en reuniones en el desierto y en el peligroso trabajo de la cosecha de remolacha, Bruder relata una historia convincente y reveladora sobre el oscuro vientre de la economía estadounidense, que presagia el precario futuro que puede esperarnos a muchos más.Pero, al mismo tiempo, celebra la excepcional capacidad de recuperación y creatividad de estos estadounidenses que han renunciado al arraigo ordinario para sobrevivir. Como Linda May, que sueña con encontrar tierras en las que construir su propia casa sostenible "Earthship", son personas que no han perdido la esperanza.

Túlélni Amerikát, avagy a boldog társadalmonkívüliség

A nomádok földje tényfeltáró történet az amerikai gazdaság sötét mélységeiből, és azokról, akik a túlélés reményében feladták addigi életüket. Észak-Dakota cukorrépaföldjeitől Kalifornia kempingein át az Amazon texasi CamperForce programjáig a munkaadók új, alacsony költséggel járó munkaerőforrásra bukkantak: a folyton úton lévő, huszonegyedik századi nomádokra.

A nagy gazdasági válságnak ők a láthatatlan áldozatai. Ők, akik tízezrével indultak útnak lakókocsivá alakított kisbuszaikban, az egyre növekvő nomádtársadalom tagjaiként. Ők, akik nem adják fel a reményt. „Akik azt hitték, a 2008-as anyagi összeomlás rég véget ért, meg kell hogy ismerjék azokat az embereket, akiket Jessica Bruder bemutat perzselő, gyönyörűen megírt, életteli, felkavaró (és időnként igen humoros) könyvében” – mondták a könyv méltatói. Hasonlóképpen fogalmaztak a kritikusok az Oscar-díj-átadón is, miután a könyv alapján készült azonos című film három díjat nyert, főszerepben a csodálatos Frances McDormanddal. A szezonális munkák közti útvonalakat követve Jessica Bruder találkozott volt egyetemi oktatóval, a McDonald’s vezetőhelyettesével, elnökkel, lelkésszel, főiskolai adminisztrátorral, motoros rendőrrel, és megállíthatatlan főszereplőjével, Linda May egykori koktélpincérnővel, lakberendezési áruházi eladóval és generálkivitelezővel. „Van Halen” névre keresztelt használt autójával Bruder útnak indul, hogy közelebbről is megismerje könyve szereplőit. Miközben Linda Mayt és társait kíséri a kempingtakarítói állástól a raktári termékrendszerezői munkán át a sivatagi találkozókig, majd a cukorrépaszedés veszélyesnek minősülő munkaköréig, Bruder lenyűgöző tényfeltáró történetet mesél el az amerikai gazdaság sötét mélységeiről – és előrevetíti a bizonytalan jövőt, amely sokunkra várhat. Ugyanakkor magasztalja ezeknek az ízig-vérig amerikai embereknek azt a kivételes rugalmasságát és kreativitását, amellyel lemondtak a helyhezkötöttségről a túlélés érdekében. Nem adták fel a reményt.
