The Nutmeg's Curse: Parables for a Planet in Crisis by Amitav Ghosh

dark emotional informative inspiring reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

Exceptional. Who would've thought to link centuries old colonialism to shamanism in order to demonstrate the carnage colonial practices have on Gaia. This book transforms how we look at our present day circumstances on the living planet by contrasting bad practices we've been fully engaged in for centuries. Forget about merely hydrocarbons, but look at terraforming as well. We are driving anything that is not human to extinction. Even this "anti-woke" movement is another attempt at extinction - anyone who is not white is considered sub-human.
