Beschreibung

Hope Against Hope investigates the critical relation between climate change and capitalism characterized by deepening inequality, rising far-right movements, and–relatedly–more frequent and devastating disasters.

Out of the Woods Collective charts a revolutionary course in and beyond our perilous times. The journey, they argue, requires an abolitionist approach to border imperialism, reactionary ecology, and state violence that underpin many green solutions to climate change as well as dominant modes of understanding nature. Crucially, they remind us of the frequent moments and movements of solidarity emerging from the ruins that surround us. Their daring response to the disarray of politics in our seemingly end times is the urgent and hopeful project of “disaster communism”–the collective power to transform our political horizons and establish a climate future based in common life.

Hope Against Hope is a devastating critique of the current environmentalist and leftist discourses on climate change that rely upon and renew racist, anti-migrant, nationalist, and capitalist assumptions. It is also a visionary call for the critical expansion of our conceptual toolbox to organize solidarity within and against ecological crisis.
