Book Talk: Power at the Roots: Community Gardens, Gentrification, and the Puerto Ricans of the Lower East Side, by Miranda Martinez
Through direct engagement with gardeners, activists, and residents, Dr. Miranda Martinez’s Power at the Roots shows the breadth and diversity of the community gardening movement and how these groups inserted themselves into local politics and development to create change. Learn how this happened (and continues), and how Puerto Ricans of the Lower East Side have worked to sustain their ethnic and cultural identity and traditions in a very different environment than their mother island.
