Rooted in the Earth: Reclaiming the African American Environmental Heritage
Exploring the complicated connection between Black folks and the outdoors, its socio-historical implications, environmental racism, and our largely under-reported relationship with self-directed agriculture, Rooted in the Earth helps one understand the role of nature in the lives of enslaved Black people, and Black people of the post-antebellum era in "America."
Each chapter opens with a brief, fictional, "Roots"-style account of a Black protagonist navigating, resisting, and surviving the harsh waters of the Atlantic Ocean, and the stolen, indigenous land upon which we stand.
Simple, poetic language. A bit heteronormative at times, but an interesting read.
