"Ailton Krenak's ideas inspire, washing over you with every
truth-telling sentence. Read this book." -- Tanya Talaga, bestselling
author of Seven Fallen Feathers
Indigenous peoples have faced the end of the world before. Now,
humankind is on a collective march towards the abyss. Global pandemics,
extreme weather, and massive wildfires define this era many now call the
Anthropocene.
From Brazil comes Ailton Krenak, renowned Indigenous activist and
leader, who demonstrates that our current environmental crisis is rooted
in society's flawed concept of "humanity" -- that human beings are
superior to other forms of nature and are justified in exploiting it as
we please.
To stop environmental disaster, Krenak argues that we must reject the
homogenizing effect of this perspective and embrace a new form of
"dreaming" that allows us to regain our place within nature. In Ideas
to Postpone the End of the World, he shows us the way.
