March 12, 2022: The Nutmeg's Curse: Parables for a Planet in Crisis by Amitav Ghosh

Combining history, essay, testimony, and polemic, Amitav Ghosh’s new book traces our contemporary planetary crisis back to the discovery of the New World and the sea route to the Indian Ocean. The Nutmeg’s Curse argues that the dynamics of climate change today are rooted in a centuries-old geopolitical order constructed by Western colonialism. Friendly guided discussion about The Nutmeg's Curse: Parables for a Planet in Crisis by Amitav Ghosh. The author will join at the end of the session to chat with participants. Discussion hosted by Aruni Kashyap.
