This week on READ TO ME we go to the land! I read from the introduction to FARMING WHILE BLACK: Soul Fire Farm’s Practical Guide to Liberation on the Land by Leah Penniman.

 

We look at the craft of guidebook writing. We savor the craft the global frame, and Penniman's expert use of it. We chomp on nutrient-rich sentences, and we see that mission statements do, in fact, have craft too.

 

And we get to see food systems through the lens of apartheid, racism, freedom, community, and justice. We get to see Black traditions of organic farming and community agriculture.

 

You're going to feel so fed, in every way.
