A pretty good text which serves to reflect and educate on the issue of environmental racism. Because racism, sadly, affects every issue and will keep doing so for who knows how long.

Holy Ground by Catherine Coleman Flowers is a set of essays on climate change that is unlike any work that I have ever ready on this topic. Ms. Flowers brings a unique and incredibly important missing perspective to this discussion, the perspective of the impact of climate change on Black rural communities. I learned so much reading this collection of essays and I highly recommend this important book. So much of the discourse on climate change comes from a privileged perspective. I sincerely hope that this impactful piece of work from the founder of the Center for Rural Enterprise and Environmental Justice will become a fixture in curriculums on climate change. This book is not just about climate change, it is about climate justice. Please read this book!

Thank you to NetGalley and Spiegel & Grau for an advanced reader copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
