Rooted: The American Legacy of Land Theft and the Modern Movement for Black Land Ownership
by Brea Baker
Description
A powerful investigation into how land theft, discriminatory policy, and racial violence stripped Black Americans of millions of acres—and how those losses continue to shape wealth, power, and belonging today. Blending historical research, reporting, and intimate stories, the book traces the enduring legacy of dispossession while introducing the communities and organizers working to reclaim land and build a more equitable future. It is both a reckoning with America’s foundations and an illuminating account of the modern movement for Black land ownership, sovereignty, and self-determination.
