Unearthed: On race and roots with Claire Ratinon

A work of memoir, social commentary and nature writing, Unearthed: On Race and Roots, and How the Soil Taught Me I Belong tells the story of Claire Ratinon’s journey to becoming a food grower. Set against her first year of living in the countryside, Claire explores how working with the soil and growing the plants that feed us has enabled her to connect with her Mauritian heritage, and cultivate a sense of homecoming on land where she’s never felt she belongs. Join Claire Ratinon and Anna Sulan Masing for a fascinating book discussion about rootedness, race, food, home and our relationships with the natural world.
