À propos de cet audio
Minnesota has a reputation for being nice.
That reputation has never told the whole story.
Lakes, Labor, and Long Memory traces the real history beneath the politeness, from Indigenous governance and broken treaties to logging camps, iron mines, labor movements, cities shaped by paperwork, and a political culture built on memory rather than myth.
This is not a brochure and it is not an apology. It is an irreverent, unsentimental look at how people in Minnesota learned to survive through cooperation, argue without disengaging, and build systems because isolation failed them again and again. Niceness here was never softness. It was strategy.
Written with humor, care, and a refusal to confuse calm with consent, this book examines how extraction, bureaucracy, weather, art, and persistence shaped a state that rarely shouts but does not stop showing up.
