Globally, Black people are amongst the most affected by the climate crisis, despite contributing very little to it. Selina Nwulu’s debut book, Black Climates, takes a broad look at the intersections of the climate crisis – including air pollution, prison ecology, disability justice, migration, food, nature and community care – investigating the ways that it disproportionately affects Black communities and questioning the expectation that these communities should be invested in saving a world in which they are disenfranchised.
Black Climates reframes the crisis to encompass our disconnection from each other and the world around us, and provides tools to help us envision more equitable futures.
