WE ARE EACH OTHER’S HARVEST is a stunning collection of poems, quotes, photographs, stories and interviews that explore the history of Black farmers and ranchers in America. Baszile examines repression and land loss over the years due to lack of financial skills, problems with banks, the USDA or the FSA. Black farmers share how the strenuous work and collaboration that comes with being a successful farmer allowed them to become more self-aware, connect with their roots and offered them meaningful work. Rich with history, this eye-opening and captivating anthology is a magnificent celebration of the spirit and resilience of Black farmers across the US.
Thank you so much @amistadbooks for sharing this beautiful book with me!

“The earth does not belong to man, man belongs to the earth. All things are connected like the blood that unites us all. Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect.”
I liked this book but enjoyed it less than I thought I would. Beautiful poems, excerpts from books, essays on legal issues, and personal story essays filled this book with the struggle, beauty, and promise of Black farmers. I didn’t love the intense focus on land ownership, but understood it’s place in this book.
