Stormbelt is a book about the decline, sometimes the dereliction, of this wide portion of American land called the "Sun Belt", which - until the end of the 90s - was a symbol of the American economic might. Recession and natural disasters (drought, hurricanes, forest fires) have hit hard on this area, from the East to the West coast.
Robert Leslie looks at towns and communities, malls, landscapes, and reveals signs - often obvious, others more subtle - of these difficult times. This series is a report on a certain America battling against these difficulties, a rather sad glance that conveys a form of disillusion of the author and traveler.
This work creates nonetheless a beautiful book; an eloquent description of the disarray in this region , yet with beautiful and striking images that catch the eye.
With two texts by Edward Burtynsky and Cameron Sinclair.
