Abstract
Black Faces, White Spaces is an insightful commentary on the historical racialization of nature and environmentalism, formed through a delicately designed discourse analysis of environmental milestones and sites of significance in the United States. The counter-narrative Finney constructs in the book challenges notions that African Americans are disinterested in engaging with nature, including involvement in environmental activism and outdoor recreation.
