With various climate changes happening worldwide, the call for diverse, unique, adaptable ideas is essential. Join us for the Spring Quarter Climate Justice Book Club to explore the ideas in The Archipelago of Hope: Wisdom and Resilience from the Edge of Climate Change by Gleb Raygorodetsky. Through his travels, he shares the stories of multiple Indigenous cultures for whom Climate Change is already a reality. We will explore the stories of struggle and inspiration through the lens of Climate Justice.
“We meet the Skolt Sami of Finland, the Nenets and Altai of Russia, the Sapara of Ecuador, the Karen of Myanmar, and the Tla-o-qui-aht of Canada. Intimate portraits of these men and women, youth and elders, emerge against the backdrop of their traditional practices on land and water. Though there are brutal realties: pollution, corruption, forced assimilation—Raygorodetsky’s prose resonates with the positive, the adaptive, the spiritual—and hope.” (GoodReads)
