For more than twenty years Naomi Klein's books have defined our era,
chronicling the exploitation of people and the planet and demanding
justice. On Fire gathers for the first time more than a decade of her
impassioned writing from the frontline of climate breakdown, and pairs
it with new material on the staggeringly high stakes of what we choose
to do next.
Here is Klein at her most prophetic and
philosophical, investigating the climate crisis not only as a profound
political challenge but also as a spiritual and imaginative one. Delving
into topics ranging from the clash between ecological time and our
culture of 'perpetual now,' to rising white supremacy and fortressed
borders as a form of 'climate barbarism,' this is a rousing call to
action for a planet on the brink. With dispatches from the ghostly Great
Barrier Reef, the smoke-choked skies of the Pacific Northwest,
post-hurricane Puerto Rico and a Vatican attempting an unprecedented
'ecological conversion,' Klein makes the case that we will rise to the
existential challenge of climate change only if we are willing to
transform the systems that produced this crisis.
This is the
fight for our lives. On Fire captures the burning urgency of the climate
crisis, as well as the energy of a rising political movement demanding
change now.
