Seeds of Diaspora (Wendy S. Walters)

Seeds of Diaspora traces the intertwined histories of humans and plants as they unfold amid radical cultural and climatic change. Through an exceptional collection of literary, visual, and research-based essays, the book explores how seeds-and the lives they contain-bear witness to migration, resilience, and transformation.From post-war landscapes reclaimed by spontaneous plant life to the mythic travels of fruit trees across continents, from seeds embedded in glacial ice to those carried along routes of labor and exile, Seeds of Diaspora reimagines the map of human settlement as a living "route of roots." The contributors-writers, artists, and researchers from architecture, ecology, anthropology, and the humanities-invite readers to see the built and natural worlds as coevolving fields of meaning.
