The Land Speaks explores the intersection of two vibrant fields,
oral history and environmental studies. Ranging across farm and
forest, city and wilderness, river and desert, this collection of
fourteen oral histories gives voice to nature and the stories it
has to tell. These essays consider topics as diverse as
environmental activism, wilderness management, public health, urban
exploring, and smoke jumping. They raise questions about the roles
of water, neglected urban spaces, land ownership concepts,
protectionist activism, and climate change. Covering almost every
region of the United States and part of the Caribbean, Lee and
Newfont and their diverse collection of contributors address the
particular contributions oral history can make toward understanding
issues of public land and the environment. In the face of global
warming and events like the Flint water crisis, environmental
challenges are undoubtedly among the most pressing issues of our
time. These essays suggest that oral history can serve both
documentary and problem-solving functions as we grapple with these
challenges.
