This study explores the ways in which the desert, as
topographical space and cultural presence, shaped and
reshaped concepts and images of America. Once a territory
outside the geopolitical and cultural borders of the United
States, the deserts of the West and Southwest have since
emerged as canonical American landscapes. Drawing on
the critical concepts of American studies and on questions
and problems raised in recent debates on ecocriticism,
The Poetics and Politics of the Desert investigates the
spatial rhetoric of America as it developed in view of arid
landscapes since the mid-nineteenth century. Gersdorf
argues that the integration of the desert into America
catered to the entire spectrum of ideological and political
responses to the history and culture of the US, maintaining
that the Americanization of this landscape was and
continues to be staged within the idiomatic parameters
,
and in reaction to the discursive authority of four spatial
metaphors: garden, wilderness, Orient, and heterotopia.
