2/24/18 review of book Black Faces, White Spaces, by Carolyn Finney

Here is the link to my Twitter thread review of the book Black Faces, White Spaces: Reimagining the Relationship of African Americans to the Great Outdoors.

The thread gives a summary of the book, as well as some background on Carolyn Finney and how I learned of her. The thread discusses how the book explores white versus black land ownership and connection to land; civil rights and land protection efforts; how the history slavery affects African Americans' connection to land; various media failures to represent African Americans in nature in the US; and a great number of success stories about African Americans who did and are doing great things to protect America's environment.

The tweets of some of my threads have been twisted out of chronological order by Twitter's platform. This thread's coherency is moderately affected. My apologies.
