To understand the contemporary racial wealth gap, we must first unpack the historic attacks on Indigenous and Black land ownership. From the moment that colonizers set foot on Virginian soil, a centuries-long war was waged, resulting in an existential dilemma: Who owns what on stolen land? Who owns what with stolen labor? To answer these questions, we must confront one of this nation’s first sins: stealing, hoarding, and commodifying the land.

An important reference and a vision for the future

In Rooted, Baker tells the story of her family’s legacy of land ownership while recounting statistics, historical records, and oral histories documenting the way that Black and indigenous people have been intentionally excluded from land ownership in the United States. The book resonates with me as a Latina landowner because people of color make up fewer than 15% of all landowners in Texas. A much smaller percentage of these landowners are female. The reasons for these disparities are not something to be proud of, and they are stories we should all learn. Baker’s research invites us to consider the benefits of a liberated, decolonized, and racially equitable agricultural economy in the United States. But more importantly, how living with the land nourishes our humanity.
