Masters of Morbidity

200 Stab Wounds "Masters of Morbidity"

Writer Roy Scranton explains why he sees death when he looks to civilization's future - from national political systems unable to address the looming, global threat of climate change, to our failure on an individual level to move behind ethnic and national arrangements as a globalized earth grows more chaotic - and how we have a choice between the death of our current way of life, or the death of our species itself.

Roy is author of Learning to Die in the Anthropocene: Reflections on the End of a Civilization from City Lights.

Historian Anna-Lisa cox traces the westward journey of America's Black pioneers - as a first Great Migration of African American farming settlements spread across the Midwest, free Black families experienced new levels of self-determination and prosperity in frontier communities, as well as a White backlash against their advancements.

Anna-Lisa is author of "The Bone and Sinew of the Land: America's Forgotten Black Pioneers and the Struggle for Equality" from PublicAffairs: https://www.publicaffairsbooks.com/titles/anna-lisa-cox/the-bone-and-sinew-of-the-land/9781610398107/

When Black farms blossomed on the American frontier.

Conservation biologist Chris D. Thomas finds new forms of life born into this warming world - as (some) species adapt to the new conditions created by climate change, humans must adapt the way we view and interact with nature to reflect a new understanding of time, change and stewardship of the natural world.

Chris is the author of "Inheritors of the Earth: How Nature Is Thriving in an Age of Extinction" from PublicAffairs: https://www.publicaffairsbooks.com/titles/chris-d-thomas/inheritors-of-the-earth/9781610397285/

On death, change and new forms of life at the end of wilderness.

Historian Walter Scheidel traces the long twin histories of economic inequality and violence throughout human history - as a cycle of rising wealth disparity and brutal, leveling shocks have followed us since the dawn of agrarian civilization - and explains why peaceful solutions to today's inequality won't be found in the past, but must be built in the future.

Walter is the author of "The Great Leveler: Violence and the History of Inequality from the Stone Age to the Twenty-First Century" from Princeton University Press. https://press.princeton.edu/titles/10921.html

A very long, mostly uninterrupted, human history of inequality.

Journalist Daniel Trilling explains why Europe's refugee crisis is really a global border crisis - exposing the failures of the state to aid the stateless in a warming, violent world, shifting political power from the failing liberal center to the surging far right, and devaluing freedom and human lives to prop up a crumbling order.

Daniel is author of "Lights in the Distance: Exile and Refuge at the Borders of Europe" from Verso.
