"Politics of turbulent waters: reflections on ecological, environmental and climate crises in Africa" is a book edited by Nnimmo Bassey that challenges the traditional Euro-Western view of climate change. The book argues that climate change is a consequence of colonialism and capitalist exploitation, and emphasizes the need for justice in addressing environmental issues. It contains 50 chapters by contributors mainly from the global South, who critique neoliberalism, corporate exploitation, and market-based solutions. The book also explores topics such as civil disobedience, the Green New Deal, genetically modified organisms, and the impact of global capitalism. Overall, it provides a comprehensive examination of environmental justice and calls for systemic change and people power to address these issues. [Extracted from the article]
