Trace
Memory, History, Race, and the American Landscape
Lauret Savoy
"Trace" by Lauret Savoy is a profound exploration of the intersections of history, memory, and landscape. Savoy weaves personal stories of migration and displacement together with the often unvoiced presence of the past to reveal the shadowy outlines of other stories of place in America. From the San Andreas Fault zone to the U.S.-Mexico Border, from national parks to burial grounds, "Trace" delves through fragmented histories to make sense of this land and its troubled past. This beautiful book is a courageous and masterful examination of what it means to inhabit terrains of memory — and to be one.
