Supported by an exhibition curated by the author, this timely publication invites us to trace and make the connections between race, the climate crisis, and colonialism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWorks by over 150 contemporary artists are presented in three thematic sections: Reckoning, Reimagining, and Reclaiming. Complex and intertwined concepts are explored: forced migration and slavery, the environmental consequences of colonialism, the occupation of Native lands, the urban plight of Black and Brown communities, and how cultural practices and knowledge systems of indigenous peoples can change our perspectives of the natural world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompelling and thought-provoking, \u003cem\u003eBlack Earth Rising\u003c\/em\u003e presents a discourse around climate change that situates the voices of people of color at the active center rather than on the passive periphery, and expands our understanding of aesthetic perspectives on climate change through artworks that reach to the poetic and lyrical rather than the didactic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeaturing strikingly lyrical contributions by Black, Latin American, and Native American artists, \u003cem\u003eBlack Earth Rising\u003c\/em\u003e assembles over 200 contemporary artworks that explore the complex ties between colonialism and the climate crisis--and in so doing, dramatically expands visual narratives on climate change. Taking as its origin the forced migration of people and early networks of commerce that reshaped lives and landscapes globally after European arrival in the Americas, the book offers an urgent reframing of climate discourse that places people of color at the center of the debate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 240\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.1 x 12.3 x 9.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 03, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47460993827069,"sku":"9780500028780","price":67.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/3414\/0157\/files\/LKyV8OYjZr9780500028780.webp?v=1777256545","url":"https:\/\/booktolia.com\/products\/black-earth-rising-colonialism-and-climate-change-in-contemporary-art-hardcover","provider":"booktolia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
