A profound and searching exploration of the herbs, foodways, and land-based medicines of Lebanon and Canaan--a deep invitation to remember and reconnect to our roots amid displacement and in diaspora.

Herbalist and author Layla Feghali shares a nuanced and layered cultural history of the healing plants of Southwest Asia and North Africa (SWANA) and Canaan, exploring how they connect family and kin in diaspora--and call across generations of ancestral knowledge.

Tying cultural survival to land-based knowledge and the plants, herbs, geography, medicines, and foodways that shape and sustain us, Feghali re-maps Canaan and its crossroads, explores the complexities and yearnings of diaspora, and explains the wounds of colonization.

Feghali asks how we find our way home amid displacement: How do we embody the lands and the histories that bind us together, while holding the ways we've been wrested apart? What does it mean to be of a place, when extraction and empire destroy its geographies? How do we reconnect to interrupted ways of knowing--the seeing, being, connecting, and healing we feel in our bones? What do we rediscover when we look beyond what's been lost and tend to what remains?

She shares lineages of folk healing in Canaan: those passed down by mothers and grandmothers; plants and practices used in prenatal and postpartum care; mystical traditions for spiritual healing; earth-based practices for emotional wellness; cultural foods and medicinal plants; and more.

Including recipes, family stories, and a glossary of meaningful terms, The Land in Our Bones asks us to reflect on belonging and lineage--to reclaim our cultural stories, to participate in them with reciprocity and care--and deepens our connection to the lands, people, and places we call home.
