"They say that territories shape us. I was ten years old when I realized that climate disruption was threatening my entire universe, and all my family stories, the memories of which are contained in the glaciers". Camille Étienne grew up in an endangered area. In one of those places where danger is already real, concrete.
Faced with a collapse of this magnitude, it's easy to become paralyzed. But, she tells us, "our powerlessness is a construct that does not belong to us", and which serves those who exercise and enjoy their power to the full.
In this essay, Camille Étienne identifies the myths that hold us back: eco-anxiety, the generational divide, triggering, false fears. Moral panics have only one purpose: to distract us from the fear that should be within us, and which could lead us to disobey, slow down or stop cooperating.
Camille Étienne defends a liberating ecology, driven by collective and democratic power. Inertia is a legend, and the potential for an uprising is the proof.
Camille Étienne is 24 years old. Pour un soulèvement écologique is her first book.
