From this angle, Burning Man looks bourgeois." —Ted Conover, author of Newjack and The Routes of Man At age twenty-two, writer Chris Urquhart left a life of middle-class comfort to document the lives of these young nomads for a magazine feature. Captivated, she followed them for three more years. In honest prose interspersed with photographs portraying the grimy beauty of nomadic life, Dirty Kids tells the story of how Urquhart lived alongside runaways, crust punks, and dropouts, hippies, Deadheads, and Rainbows in an attempt to belong in their world. But the road took its toll, and along the way, Urquhart found suffering alongside the freedom—mental health issues, substance abuse, and fears of violence marred her journey. Despite all that, the warm, welcoming family of travelers and their radically alternative culture of sharing, generosity, and non-capitalistic collaboration forever changed her outlook on life and her understanding of freedom.Country/Region of Manufacture: CAGenre: Travel & TransportTopic: Society & Culture, Social SciencesRelease Year: 2017 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
