Ideas to postpone the end of the world

Global pandemics, extreme weather, and huge wildfires define our era, which is also known as the Anthropocene. Ailton Krenak, hailing from Brazil, is considered an important voice for indigenous peoples. He shows how the current environmental crisis is rooted in a somewhat mistaken idea of the concept of humanity – we think that human beings are superior to other forms of nature and can therefore exploit them at will. To stop the environmental catastrophe, according to Krenak, we must reject the consequences of this superior perspective and embrace a new form of dreaming that will allow us to rediscover our place in nature. In this book, he shows us how to do just that.
