Humanity Can Be Saved If We Listen to the Indigenous Peoples
Black Agenda Radio with Nellie Bailey and Glen Ford
27 Aug 2018
🖨️ Print Article

Climate activists should stop saying “the world will end, and we’re beyond the turning point,” said Macarena Gomez-Barris, author of The Extraction Zone: Social Ecologies and Decolonial Perspectives. Indigenous people have shown there are “other ways of being in the world” that can allow the biosphere to survive, said Gomez-Barris. Talk of the inevitability of doomsday allows the rich to continue their plunder under the ideology of “disposability.”
