Description
When we talk about racism, we often mean personal prejudice or institutional biases. Climate change doesn’t work that way. It is structurally racist, disproportionately caused by majority white people in majority white countries, with the damage unleashed overwhelmingly on people of colour.
The climate crisis reflects and reinforces racial injustices.In this eye-opening book, writer and environmental activist Jeremy Williams takes us on a short, urgent journey across the globe – from Kenya to India, the USA to Australia – to understand how white privilege and climate change overlap.
The book looks at environmental facts, hear the experiences of the people most affected on our planet and learns from activists leading the change.
“Climate Change Is Racist is a significant intervention in climate change studies and activism. Jeremy Williams crafts an accessible analysis that is essential reading for those seeking to diversify climate change activism and confront historical, structural racism(s).” Professor Robert Beckford
