Description
A drought triggers suspicion and conflict in a small community. An aging cocoa farmer refuses to abandon his cherished land. A devastating storm marks a new era for an island and a family. The water divinity Yemoja argues with a hostile judge.
Writing For Our Lives is a powerful collection of stories, poems, and essays that bring the climate crisis into sharp focus through the voices of those most affected yet least heard — the people and communities of the Caribbean.
Eighteen writers from eight countries tackle climate justice from diverse viewpoints, exploring the profound impacts of environmental change on health, livelihoods, culture, and heritage.
A must-read for those who seek to understand the human cost of climate change and the strength of Caribbean storytelling.
Writing For Our Lives was co-edited by Diana McCaulay and Shivanee Ramlochan and features 18 Caribbean authors:
Randy Ablack, Brendon Alekseii, Tadzio Bervoets, Anika M. Christopher, Sonia Farmer, Kevin Jared Hosein, Dreylan Johnson, Elton Johnson, Rhys Knowles, Simone Leid, Amanda T. McIntyre, Judy Raymond, Christina Katrina Smith, Portia Subran,, Sharma Taylor, Charlie Godet Thomas, Scott Ting-A-Kee; and Nadine Tomlinson.
