Description
The Land Speaks: New Voices at the Intersection of Oral and Environmental History by Deborah Jean Lee explores the connection between oral history and environmental studies. This collection of fourteen oral histories brings to life the stories of nature, covering topics such as environmental activism, wilderness management, public health, and climate change. From farm and forest to city and wilderness, these essays shed light on pressing issues like water rights, neglected urban spaces, land ownership concepts, and protectionist activism. The contributors' diverse perspectives offer a nuanced understanding of the role of oral history in addressing public land and environmental concerns. As we face global challenges such as climate change and environmental degradation, this book suggests that oral history can serve both documentary and problem-solving functions.
