âA groundbreaking work about race and the American landscape, and a deep meditation on natureâ¦wise and beautiful.ââHelen Macdonald, author of H is for Hawk A Foreword Reviews Best Book of the Year and Nautilus Silver Award Winner In me, there is the red of miry clay, the brown of spring floods, the gold of ripening tobacco. All of these hues are me; I am, in the deepest sense, colored. Dating back to slavery, Edgefield County, South Carolinaâa place âeasy to pass by on the way somewhere elseââhas been home to generations of Lanhams. In The Home Place, readers meet these extraordinary people, including Drew himself, who over the course of the 1970s falls in love with the natural world around him. As his passion takes flight, however, he begins to ask what it means to be âthe rare bird, the oddity.â By turns angry, funny, elegiac, and heartbreaking, The Home Place is a meditation on nature and belonging by an ornithologist and professor of ecology, at once a deeply moving memoir and riveting exploration of the contradictions of black identity in the rural Southâand in America today. âWhen youâre done with The Home Place, it wonât be done with you. Its wonders will linger like everything luminous.ââStar Tribune âA lyrical story about the power of the wildâ¦synthesizes his own family history, geography, nature, and race into a compelling argument for conservation and resilience.ââNational Geographic
