Description

A profound exploration of the healing plants and land-based medicines of Lebanon and Canaan, this book invites readers to re-member their roots and deepen their relationship with the lands where they live in diaspora. Layla K. Feghali, a Lebanese ethnobotanist, sovereignty steward, and cultural worker, offers a layered history of the healing plants of Canaan and the Crossroads, exploring the complexities and systemic impacts of diaspora. She examines how ancestral healing practices connect land and kin, providing an embodied lifeline for regenerative healing and repair. Through her work, Feghali asks how we find our way home amid displacement, and what it means to be of a place when extraction and empire destroy its geographies. This book is a vital invitation to re-examine our relationship with the land and our cultural heritage.
