Our July 2026 selection is \;It's Not That Radical: climate action to transform our world \;by Mika ela Loach.
\n\nFROM CATALOG
\nFrom a s tar of the climate justice movement\, a fresh\, radical perspective for re al climate action and "an indispensable toolkit for a new generation of ac tivists" (Naomi Klein). \;
\nFor too long\, representations of c limate action in the mainstream media have been white-washed\, green-washe d and diluted to be made compatible with capitalism. In It's Not That Radical\, Loach addresses head-on the issues at the root of the clima te crisis.
\nAs Loach shows\, we are living in an economic system wh ich pursues profit above all else\; harmful\, oppressive systems that heav ily contribute to the climate crisis\, and environmental consequences that have been toned down to the masses. Tackling the climate crisis requires us to visit the roots of poverty\, capitalist exploitation\, police brutal ity\, and legal injustice. Climate justice offers the real possibility of huge leaps towards racial equality and collective liberation as it aims to dismantle the very foundations of these issues.
