Bill McKibben, who is the Schumann Distinguished Scholar at Middlebury College and leader of the anti-carbon campaign group 350.org., said of this work, "This is a remarkable book, demonstrating once more the deep links between the ongoing degradation of the the planet and the ongoing degradation its most vulnerable people. It's a bracing reminder that a mentality that allows throwaway people also allows a throwaway earth." sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
"BLOOD AND EARTH is a gripping account of the deadly link between slavery and environmental destruction. Kevin Bales is a social scientist, human rights activist, and journalist -- and he's also one of the world's leading experts on modern slavery. In his work he began to notice the connection between environmental decline and slavery: the two almost always went hand-in-hand, whether in the hellish gold mines of Ghana or the miraculously beautiful mangrove forests of Bangladesh. But why? He set off to find the answer on a fascinating and moving journey that took him into the lives of modern day slaves and along a supply chain that leads directly to the cell phones in our pockets. He found solutions that redeemed both the lives of the slaves in the world's most threatened places and the environments they live in. This is a clear-eyed, inspiring, and profoundly hopeful book that brings us dramatic stories from the world's environmental and human rights hotspots and offers solutions to our most pressing crises"-- No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
