Idées pour retarder la fin du monde

Description

In his book Ideas for Delaying the End of the World, Ailton Krenak appropriates the discourse on the Anthropocene and situates his argument within a paradox: with the new environmental crisis, which is also a crisis of civilisation for industrial societies, it is the indigenous peoples, who have been experiencing the end of the world since colonisation (when they represented a fifth of the world's population, 95% disappeared during the first century and a half after the European conquest), who have become experts in material and cultural survival. They may therefore be able to provide strategies for resistance at a time when Western humanity must begin to mourn the loss of its plans for the unlimited exploitation of the Earth.
