It reminds us that ecological humility is an intrinsic part of Black cultural heritage, despite the attempts of racial capitalism to sever our connection to the sacred earth for 400 years. The anthology brings together today's most respected and influential Black environmentalist voices, including Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award-winning author Alice Walker, the first Queen Mother and official spokesperson for the Gullah\/Geechee Nation, Queen Quet, marine biologist, policy expert, and founder and president of Ocean Collectiv, Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson, and the Executive Director of the North Carolina Association of Black Lawyers, Land Loss Prevention Project, Savi Horne. They address the essential connection between nature and our survival and how runaway consumption and corporate insatiability are harming the earth and every facet of American society, engendering racial violence, food apartheid, and climate injustice. Those whose skin is not black are invited to join the conversation and learn from the wisdom of Black people who have been stewards of the land for generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 498g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 163 x 238 x 34 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780063160897\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Leah Penniman","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44170696851706,"sku":"9780063160897","price":14.64,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1681478431137_book.jpg?v=1681499809","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/black-earth-wisdom-soulful-conversations-with-black-environmentalists-9780063160897","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
