Imperiled Life: Revolution against Climate Catastrophe

by Javier Sethness

Overview

Imperiled Life theorizes an exit from the potentially terminal consequences of capital-induced climate change. It is a collection of reflections on the phenomenon of catastrophe—climatological, political, social—as well as on the possibilities of overcoming disaster.

Javier Sethness-Castro presents the grim news from contemporary climatologists while providing a reconstructive vision inspired by anarchist intellectual traditions and promoting critical thought as a means of changing our historical trajectory.

Javier Sethness-Castro is a libertarian socialist and a rights advocate. Imperiled Life is his first book.
