The Home Place: Memoirs of a Colored Man’s Love Affair with Nature - J. Drew Lanham
The Home Place is a memoir written by ornithologist and professor of ecology at Clemson University, J. Drew Lanham. Lanham’s memoir reads like a collection of essays detailing his keen observation of nature; the land and sky surrounding his rural South Carolina home comes alive through the eyes of a born naturalist and bird-lover. We get a rich understanding of who he is as a black man in the American south, a home he shares with others who look and act differently than he does, yet who share his love of nature. Lanham reflects: “Home, after all, is more than a place on a map. It’s a place in the heart.”
