Join author and storyteller Carolyn Finney, as she discusses her book Black Faces, White Spaces: Reimagining the Relationship of African Americans in the Great Outdoors.
“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.
