SUMMARY:NC Reads Book Discussion: On the Swamp
DESCRIPTION:North Carolina Reads is North Carolina Humanities’ award-winning\, statewide book club! North Carolina Reads annually features five books that explore issues of racial\, social\, and gender equity and the history and culture of North Carolina. All featured books pose critical questions about how North Carolinians view their personal roles in helping to promote and form a more just and inclusive society.  Learn more about the book selections here. \nOn the Swamp: Fighting for Indigenous Environmental Justice by Ryan E. Emanuel\nEnvironmental scientist Ryan E. Emanuel\, a member of the Lumbee tribe\, shares stories from North Carolina about indigenous survival and resilience in the face of radical environmental changes. Addressing issues from the loss of wetlands to the arrival of gas pipelines\, these stories connect the dots between historic patterns of Indigenous oppression and present-day efforts to promote environmental justice and Indigenous rights on the swamp. Emanuel’s scientific insight and deeply personal connections to his home blend together in a book that is both a heartfelt and an analytical call to acknowledge and protect sacred places. \nRegistration is required to join our discussion of On the Swamp.  Book are available upon request starting September 2: https://library.transylvaniacounty.org/ncreads2025/ \nNC Humanities’ virtual book event featuring author Dr. Ryan E. Emanuel and Philip Bell can be viewed here.
