- Summary:
- "To Love the Wind and the Rain" is a groundbreaking and vivid analysis of the relationship between African Americans and the environment in United States history. It focuses on three major themes: the rural environment, urban and suburban environments, and environmental justice. Meticulously researched, the essays cover diverse subjects, including: hunting and fishing by enslaved African Americans, the gardens of rural southern women, the 1919 Chicago race riot, and the relationship of religion to environmental activism. "To Love the Wind and the Rain" serves as an excellent introduction to a fuller understanding of African American environmental history.
