| Summary: | The Mesa Verde region is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world and is an area fraught with complexities, anomalies and layers of histories. Sushi in Cortez is a collection of essays by an interdisciplinary group of academics, artists and cultural observers that explores this diverse landscape and heritage by combining and sharing the differing perspectives provided by various disciplines. Poetry, film, environmental philosophy, nature photography, native Pueblo perspectives and archaeology are used to touch on the common questions people ask about the value of their work and lives as well as the value of visiting ancient sites such as Mesa Verde. The authors share personal stories about the difficulties, joys, confusions and epiphanies they experienced as they crossed the boundaries of their professional lives, coming to understand how incomplete any single rendition of place can be. |
