Hi all,
I've just submitted for proofing "Earth At Risk: Building A Resistance
Movement To Save The Planet" edited by Derrick Jensen and Lierre Keith.
It's been read and spell-checked, all headers stripped, page numbers/chapter
titles present/protected, fonts adjusted.
258 pages.
Description:
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 presents an impassioned critique of the dominant culture from
every angle. Speakers from the conference are featured in this 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.
