Ancestral Future - Ailton Krenak - Bog

Bag om Ancestral Future

In response to the damage caused by centuries of colonial ravaging and the current ecological, political and social crises, the leading Indigenous thinker and activist Ailton Krenak warns against the destructive powers of corporate capitalism and its irreversible impacts.Ancestral Future draws attention to how we are constantly imagining some moment in the past or thinking about what is yet to come rather than living with what subsists around us. Unable to withstand the present, we escape into future imaginings and lose track of our here and now. If there is another kind of future to imagine, then Krenak shows how that future is ancestral, since it was already here, pulsing with the possibilities of connecting with the Earth and its constellations of beings and remembering that rivers, mountains and trees are our kin.
