Undrowned: Black Feminist Lessons from Marine Mammals, by Alexis Pauline Gumbs
3.0
i think chapters 12-14 were the highlights for me, esp the section titled End Capitalism. parts of this were a little bit repetitive but there was a lot of really interesting information and perspective in this book which is a VERY unique approach to an intersectional inquiry into how humans and marine mammals inhabit the world together.
we used to say "save the whales!" but somehow it feels like in the 21st century capitalism and corporate interest groups and a hundred other things going wrong with the world, made us think that it was Mission Accomplished, but the whales are still dying, the world is still melting, the oceans are boiling, resources are shrinking. we didnt save the whales, shits only gotten worse
