Synopsis "Potomac Fever: Reflections on the Nation's River"

An impassioned meditation on American identity and its ebb and flow through the Capital's great waterwayAs she walks the length of the Potomac River, clambering up its banks and sounding its depths, Charlotte Taylor Fryar examines the geography and ecology of Washington, D.C. with all manner of flora and fauna as her witness. The ecological traces of human inhabitancy provide her with imaginative access into America's past, for her true subject is the origin of our splintered nation and racially divided capital.From the gentrified neighborhood of Shaw to George Washington's slave labor camp at Mount Vernon, Potomac Fever maps the troubled histories of the United States by leading us along the less-trafficked trails and side streets of our capital city, steeped in the legacy of white supremacy and colonialism. In the end, Fryar offers hope for how "we might grow a society guided by the ethics and values of the places we live."A compelling synthesis of historical, environmental, and personal narrative, Potomac Fever exposes the roots of our national myths, awash in the waters of America's renowned river.
