About

My book Free the Land was published in the US & Canada in June 2024 by St. Martin’s Press. It's about how the commodification of land—treating land primarily as a source of profit—is driving racial injustice, inequality, environmental degradation and the climate crisis in America.

My essays and journalism have appeared in the New York Times, Harper’s, Guardian, New Yorker and The Nation. I’m also the editor of The World We Need: Stories and Lessons from America’s Unsung Environmental Movement, a 2021 anthology that Bill McKibben called “a truly important book.”
