Here, her journey into the world of foraging begins. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith her family, Hua finds abundance in overlooked places: bay nuts scattered along the road and chanterelles erupting in a damp forest. Against a landscape marked by migration, colonialism, capitalism, and climate change, she examines who gets to feel safe outdoors, how immigration and displacement shape ideas of what is native, and how to harvest with reciprocity and respect.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWeaving together cultural and natural history, she traces her immigrant Chinese family’s journey and the daily labor of care, tending to illness, aging, and loss. Foraging renews her sense of place, kindles joy, and attunes her to the seasons of life. Deeply researched, tender, and resonant,\u003ci\u003e Uprooted\u003c\/i\u003e is a luminous meditation on resilience—how we survive, how we adapt, and how, even amid upheaval, we find our way home.","brand":"Tin House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48858853179647,"sku":"9781638935131","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9781638935131","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
