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.
In this dazzling literary collection, writers explore and celebrate their lives with and love for birds--detailing experiences from Alaska to Bermuda, South Dakota to Panama.
A writer discovers an unexpected passion for birding, along with a new understanding of the world and her own place in it.
