Description
Summary:"Featuring strikingly lyrical contributions by Black, Latin American, and Native American artists, 'Black Earth Rising' assembles over 200 contemporary artworks that explore the complex ties between colonialism and the climate crisis--and in so doing, dramatically expands visual narratives on climate change. Taking as its origin the forced migration of people and early networks of commerce that reshaped lives and landscapes globally after European arrival in the Americas, the book offers an urgent reframing of climate discourse that places people of color at the center of the debate." --back cover
