Rooted: The American Legacy of Land Theft and the Modern Movement for Black Land Ownership is a nonfiction work by Brea Baker that examines how land dispossession has shaped Black life in the United States. Blending history, cultural criticism, and personal reflection, the book argues that the racial wealth gap cannot be understood without tracing the theft of Indigenous and Black land, the destruction of Black landownership after emancipation, and the long-term consequences of exclusion from property and inheritance. Baker also places land justice within broader conversations about reparations, environmental justice, and community self-determination. Rather than treating land as a simple economic asset, the book presents it as a foundation for autonomy, memory, and collective survival. It is written for readers seeking a clear, accessible account of how past land violence continues to structure modern inequality and why current movements for Black land ownership matter.
