Imperiled Life
Revolution Against Climate Catastrophe
Author and activist Javier Sethness-Castro of the Institute for Anarchist Studies will present his recently published work on the climate crisis and lead a discussion on the struggle necessary to achieve systemic ecological change.
Imperiled Life theorizes an exit from the potentially terminal consequences of capital-induced climate change. It is a collection of reflections on the phenomenon of catastrophe—climatological, political, social—as well as on the possibilities of overcoming disaster.
The fourth title in our Anarchist Intervention Series, co-published with the Institute for Anarchist Studies!
Javier Sethness-Castro presents the grim news from contemporary climatologists while providing a reconstructive vision inspired by anarchist intellectual traditions and promoting critical thought as a means of changing our historical trajectory.
Praise for Imperiled Life:
“Imperiled Life is an angry and urgent dissection of the omnivorous economic system that is mercilessly turning the planet into a death camp.”
-- Jeffrey St. Clair, author Born Under a Bad Sky
