Racist Roots: How Racism Has Affected Trees and People in Our Cities - and What We Can Do About It by Christine Carmichael is a nonfiction work at the intersection of urban forestry, environmental justice, public policy, and social history. Carmichael, a forestry scholar and consultant with expertise in gender, justice, and environmental change, examines how racism has shaped not only housing, infrastructure, and political opportunity, but also the physical distribution and care of trees in American cities. The book explains why many lower-income and predominantly non-white neighborhoods have less tree canopy, fewer maintained green spaces, and greater exposure to heat and environmental burdens. Its purpose is not simply to document unequal urban landscapes, but to connect those landscapes to historical decisions such as segregation, redlining, and disinvestment. It also offers practical guidance for urban forestry professionals, community organizations, policymakers, and residents seeking fairer, healthier, and more inclusive urban forests.
