As global warming accelerates, droughts last longer, floods rise higher,
and super-storms become more frequent. With increasing numbers of people
on the move as a result, the business of containing them - border
fortification - is booming.
In Storming the Wall, Todd Miller travels around the world to connect
the dots between climate-ravaged communities, the corporations cashing
in on border militarization, and emerging movements for environmental
justice and sustainability. Reporting from the flashpoints of climate
clashes, and from likely sites of futures battles, Miller chronicles a
growing system of militarized divisions between the rich and the poor,
the environmentally secure and the environmentally exposed. Stories of
crisis, greed, and violence are juxtaposed with powerful examples of
solidarity and hope in this urgent and timely message from the
frontlines of the post-Paris Agreement era.
