En llamas

For more than twenty years, Naomi Klein has been the foremost chronicler in the economic warfare waged against people and the planet, tirelessly advocating for a powerful green plan centered on justice. Among his elegant reports, written from the front lines of contemporary natural catastrophes, we find a series of intense and indispensable essays for the public that bring us prophetic and urgent warnings about the future that awaits us if we refuse to act, as well as glimpses of hope. for a much better future. Catching Fire brings together, for the first time, more than a decade of her passionate articles and unpublished material on the overwhelming consequences of our immediate political and economic choices. These lengthy articles show us the most prophetic and philosophical version of Klein, who investigates the climate crisis not only as a profound political challenge but also as a spiritual and imaginative challenge. Delve into issues ranging from the conflict between ecological time and our "perpetual now" culture to the inspiring story of humans' ability to change and evolve rapidly when faced with serious threats, to the rise of white supremacy and borders turned into fortresses as a form of "climatic barbarism", in what constitutes a call to action to save a planet that is on the brink of the abyss. With chronicles from the ghostly Great Barrier Reef or year-after-year smoke-smothered skies in the Pacific Northwest, from a hurricane-struck Puerto Rico or a Vatican trying to instigate an unprecedented "ecological conversion", Klein It says that we will only rise to the existential challenge posed by climate change if we are willing to transform the systems that have caused this crisis. These pages are a powerful investigation that she believes that the fight for a more sustainable world cannot be separated from the fight for our lives. Thus, Catching Fire captures the suffocating urgency of the climate crisis, as well as the fiery energy of a rising political movement demanding a catalytic Green New Deal.
