Ailton Krenak

Recenzje

"Ailton Krenak is a unique voice in contemporary thought and the only one who manages to turn the current crisis into a huge opportunity to rethink the life of humanity. He demonstrates that our political identity is not based on the separate ownership of land, but on the fact that we all share one and the same flesh, which is the same flesh from which planet Earth lives. Earth is not the space where languages and cultures differ and wage war against each other, but the institution that allows us to share dreams with all that lives."Emanuele Coccia, author of Metamorphoses"A stinging critique of Western thought."Earthbound Report"Krenak makes a potent anarchist statement, often with simple, sardonic humour ... and his solutions are no less radical."Latin American Review of Books"[A] thought-provoking critique of the individual and the prevailing global political-economic-social system. With his humorous sensitivity, Krenak invites us to reflect on the essence of life, which goes beyond the limited definition assigned to it."International Journal of Environmental Studies
