RAVEN Book Club: The End of This World

About the book: The climate crisis is here, and the end of this world—a world built on land theft, resource extraction, and colonial genocide—is on the horizon. In this compelling roadmap to a livable future, Indigenous sovereignty and climate justice go hand in hand.

Drawing on their work in First Nations and Indigenous activism, the labour movement, youth climate campaigns, community-engaged scholarship, and independent journalism, the six authors challenge toothless proposals and false solutions to show that a just transition from fossil fuels cannot succeed without the dismantling of settler capitalism in Canada. Together, they envision a near future where oil and gas stay in the ground; where a caring economy provides social supports for all; where wealth is redistributed from the bloated billionaire class; and where stolen land is rightfully reclaimed under the jurisdiction and sovereignty of Indigenous peoples.

Packed with clear-eyed analysis of both short- and long-term strategies for radical social change, The End of This World promises that the next world is within reach and worth fighting for.Depending on the number of attendees, individual participation may vary.

Beaver Lake Cree Nation is going to court to defend its rights to hunt, fish, and practice their culture as guaranteed under Treaty 6. In the process, the First Nation is also pushing back against one of the largest and most carbon-intensive energy developments on the planet: the Alberta Oil Sands.
