"Will open the minds of even the most ardent denier of climate change
and/or systemic racism. If there's one book that will help you to be an
effective activist for climate justice, it's this one." Dr Shola
Mos-Shogbamimu, author of This is Why I Resist: Don't Define My Black
Identity
"Really packs a punch" Aja Barber, author of Consumed: The Need for
Collective Change: Colonialism, Climate Change, and Consumerism
When we talk about racism, we often mean personal prejudice or
institutional biases. Climate change doesn't work that way. It is
structurally racist, disproportionately caused by majority White people
in majority White countries, with the damage unleashed overwhelmingly on
people of colour. The climate crisis reflects and reinforces racial
injustices.
In this eye-opening book, writer and environmental activist Jeremy
Williams takes us on a short, urgent journey across the globe - from
Kenya to India, the USA to Australia - to understand how White privilege
and climate change overlap. We'll look at the environmental facts, hear
the experiences of the people most affected on our planet and learn from
the activists leading the change.
It's time for each of us to find our place in the global struggle for
justice.
