Descriere
Societies
that
have
long
wrestled
with
the
legacies
of
colonialism
now
confront
both
a
crisis
of
globalization
and
a
crisis
of
climate.
This
collection
of
essays
by
a
leading
scholar
of
postcolonial
studies
and
environmental
humanities
examines
these
distinct
-
but
interrelated
-
crises
side
by
side.
The
first
series
of
essays,
'Global
Worlds',
details
how
varied
ideas
of
civilization
and
humanism
have
shaped
ideas
about
a
global
humanity
in
the
lingering
twilightof
the
European
empires
-
and
outlines
the
conflicts
and
connections
that
arise
from
global
encounters
in
our
postcolonial
age.
The
essays
of
'The
Planetary
Human'
explore
the
significance
of
planetary
climate
change
for
humanistic
and
postcolonial
thought.
The
crisis
of
climate
change
demands
notonly
critiques
of
capitalism
and
inequality,
but
also
new
thinking
about
the
human
species
as
a
whole
—
and
about
our
patterns
of
justice,
our
writing
of
history,
and
our
relationship
with
nature
in
the
age
of
the
Anthropocene.
