The Nerves and Their Endings: essays on crisis and response by Jessica Gaitán Johannesson

3.0

Do you know your place?  Do you know it “well enough to see it change”?  Is it the case that, “eso aquí es así,” and does it have to be that way?  If you, too, detect the earth’s alarm and feel emergency within your bones, check out The Nerves and Their Endings: Essays on Crisis and Response by Swedish-Colombian-British writer and activist Jessica Gaitán Johannesson.  What happens when your Birth Strike group splinters between those who practice non-parenthood on behalf of our planet and those who do so for the sake of the unborn?  Does climate action translate from the country of one parent to that of the other, and what if you move to a third?  How do you respond to the caller who latches onto your accent and asks how far you are from “home”?  Listen to your nerves, make your place your own, and learn from what each has to say.
