Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The climate crisis is here, and the end of this worldâ a world built on land theft, resource extraction, and colonial genocideâ is on the horizon. In this compelling roadmap to a livable future, Indigenous sovereignty and climate justice go hand in hand.Drawing on their work in Indigenous activism, the labour movement, youth climate campaigns, community-engaged scholarship, and independent journalism, the six authors challenge toothless proposals and false solutions to show that a just transition from fossil fuels cannot succeed without the dismantling of settler capitalism in Canada.
