Abstract
Reading Black and Brown Faces... is a delightful, troublesome, and inspirational experience. Delightful, because it is a beautifully written and photographed (also expertly done by Edmondson) testimony from the lives of twenty Black people who overcame barriers that have historically inhibited their people from venturing into wild places. Because each chapter is their personal story, Edmondson wisely let each person share: why wild places are important to them in terms of childhood experiences, what they do in the outdoors, who were their heroes and mentors, their thoughts on minorities in wild places, beliefs about youth and wilderness, their best outdoor experiences and favorite places, experiences as a face of color in remote places, and advice on environmental advocacy and the future.
