When oil is discovered beneath the town, locals, oil workers, service workers, politicians, law enforcement, and opportunists collide, leading to a tripling of the population overnight. Harleigh Killdeer, chairman of the tribal business council of the neighboring Three Nations reservation, joins forces with a fast-talking entrepreneur to pursue sovereignty by the barrel. Sayles' masterful storytelling spans from the earliest exploitation of the land and its people to twenty-first-century privatization schemes, revealing how the profit motive erodes human relationships and our living planet. The fate of Yellow Earth serves as a parable for our times, highlighting the destructive impact of greed and exploitation on communities and the environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 644g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 229 x 154 x 30 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781642597073\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Sayles","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44098949873914,"sku":"9781642597073","price":15.85,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1662113206251_book.jpg?v=1662214223","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/yellow-earth-9781642597073","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
