The annual conference Earth at Risk: Building a Resistance
Movement to Save the Planet features environmental thinkers and activists who
are willing to ask the hardest questions about the seriousness of the planet’s
situation, and this book and DVD presents an impassioned critique of the
dominant culture from every angle.
The conference is convened by Derrick Jensen, acclaimed
author of Endgame, who has argued that we need a resistance movement against
civilization itself.
The seven people in this film present an impassioned
critique of the dominant culture from every angle.
Speakers from the conference are featured in the print volume and
include William Catton, who explains ecological overshoot; Thomas Linzey, who
gives a fiery call for community sovereignty; Jane Caputi, who exposes
patriarchy’s mythic dismemberment of the goddess; Aric McBay, who discusses
historically effective resistance strategies; and Stephanie McMillan, who takes
down capitalism. One by one, they build an unassailable case that the rich
should be deprived of their ability to steal from the poor and the powerful of
their ability to destroy the planet.
These speakers offer their ideas on what can be done to
build a real resistance movement: one that includes all levels of direct action
that can actually match the scale of the problem. Also included are the
speakers Derrick Jensen, Arundhati Roy, Rikki Ott, Gail Dines, Waziyatawin,
Lierre Keith, and Nora Barrows-Friedman.
This collection is sure to inform, engage, and inspire.
