Lee is a perfectly placed observer of our world in motion.In Dispersals, she examines the echoes and counterpoints in the migration of plants and people and the language we use to describe them. Combining memoir, history and scientific research, Lee questions how both plants and people come to belong or not and reveals how all our futures are more entwined than we might imagine.
