Food-lovers of Sheffield, we warmly invite you to come along to the ShefFood Book Club. This month we will be reading Unearthed: On race and roots, and how the soil taught me I belong by Claire Ratinon. Unearthed is the story of how Claire found belonging through falling in love with growing plants and reconnecting with nature. Like many diasporic people of colour, Claire grew up feeling cut off from the natural world. She lived in cities, reluctant to be outdoors and stuck with the belief that success and status could fill the space where belonging was absent. Through learning the practice of growing food, she unpicked her beliefs about who she ought to be.
Our need to eat shapes our daily existence, affecting everything from our own identities and cultures to the landscapes we create, and even our political and economic systems.
