Description
Dispersals On Plants, Borders and Belonging is a poetic and intimate essay collection that explores the entanglements of the plant and human worlds. Born in Canada to a Taiwanese mother and a Welsh father, Jessica J. Lee brings a unique perspective to this vibrant book of linked essays.
The plants considered in this collection are often perceived as being "out of place" - whether weeds, samples collected through imperial science, or crops introduced and transformed by human hand. Combining memoir, history, and scientific research, Lee meditates on the question of how both plants and people come to belong - or not - as they border cross.
Through precise and poetic prose, Lee reveals how all our futures are more entwined than we might imagine. A beautifully written book that will appeal to readers interested in nature, history, and the human experience.
