It is a great read for those engaging African American communities in gardening and other environmental issues. Focusing on our history from the rich dirt of Africa to the planting of the garden at our nation’s capital by Michelle Obama, one can find resolve and inspiration to continue the work of environmental justice and a spiritual reclaiming of our responsibility to be good stewards of the land. - Goodreads
Why are African Americans so underrepresented when it comes to interest in nature, outdoor recreation, and environmentalism? In this thought-provoking study, Carolyn Finney looks beyond the discourse of the environmental justice movement to examine how the natural environment has been understood, commodified, and represented by both white and black Americans.
Black Nature is the first anthology to focus on nature writing by African American poets. Camille T. Dungy has selected 180 poems for 93 poets that provide unique perspectives on American social and literary history to broaden our concept of nature poetry and African American poetics.
