Black Earth Wisdom: Soulful Conversations with Black Environmentalists by Leah Penniman
3.0
Black Earth Wisdom is a collection of conversations by Leah Penniman, a Black Kreyol farmer and co-director of Soul Fire Farm, with Black environmentalists. In order to create Black Earth Wisdom, Penniman interviewed a range of people and then compiled those interviews into "conversations" on specific topics. I really enjoyed the content of this book and learned a lot from the wisdom it contained. I think that, for whatever reason, interview-style books are harder for me to get into than other forms of nonfiction. I had the same challenge with Ezra Woodger's To Be a Trans Man. This was a fantastic book whose format didn't quite work for me - I think I may need to steer away from interview/conversation formatted nonfiction moving forward.
