La strada alla fine del mondo
Sarebbe difficile, prima di aver letto questo splendido resoconto di viaggio, immaginare la bellezza delle foreste pluviali della Columbia Britannica, dei picchi innevati dei vulcani della penisola dell’Alaska, o dei poderosi ghiacciai che scendono dalle catene montuose della costa nord-occidentale del Canada fino a lambire l’oceano Pacifico, senza chiedersi perché una coppia di giovani e determinati ambientalisti abbia voluto percorrere, lungo l’arco di un intero anno e per di più a piedi, territori tanto aspri e ostili. Quattro stagioni trascorse nella natura selvaggia, da soli, in luoghi inviolati, dove il tempo ha una dimensione sconosciuta e ogni giorno è in gioco la sopravvive...

Invisible No More
For too long, Indigenous people in the United States have been stereotyped as vestiges of the past, obliged to remind others, "We are still here!" Yet today, Native leaders are at the center of social change, challenging philanthropic organizations that have historically excluded Native people, and fighting for economic and environmental justice. Edited by Raymond Foxworth of the Henry Luce Foundation and Steve Dubb of The Nonprofit Quarterly, Invisible No More is a groundbreaking collection of stories by Native American leaders, many of them women, who are leading the way through cultural grounding and nation-building in the areas of community, environmental justice, and economic justice. While telling their stories, authors excavate the history and ongoing effects of genocide and colonialism, reminding readers how philanthropic wealth often stems from the theft of Native land and resources, as well as how major national parks such as Yosemite were "conserved" by forcibly expelling Native residents. At the same time, the authors detail ways that readers might imagine the world differently, presenting stories of Native community building that offer benefits for all.
