A provocative and urgent essay collection that asks how we can live with hope in an age of ecocidePaul Kingsnorth was once an activistan ardent environmentalist. He fought against rampant development and the depredations of a corporate world that seemed hellbent on ignoring a looming climate crisis in its relentless pursuit of profit. But as the environmental movement began to focus on sustainability rather than the defense of wild places for their own sake and as global conditions worsened, he grew disenchanted with the movement that he once embraced. He gave up what he saw as the false hope that residents of the First World would ever make the kind of sacrifices that might avert the severe consequences of climate change.Full of grief and fury as well as passionate, lyrical evocations of nature and the wild, Confessions of a Recovering Environmentalist gathers the wavemaking essays that have charted the change in Kingsnorths thinking. In them he articulates a new vision that he calls dark ecology, which stands firmly in opposition to the belief that technology can save us, and he argues for a renewed balance between the human and nonhuman worlds.This iconoclastic, fearless, and ultimately hopeful book, which includes the muchdiscussed Uncivilization manifesto, asks hard questions about how weve lived and how we should live.
