Beings Seen and Unseen – a conversation with Amitav Ghosh

Amitav Ghosh is an Indian-born scholar, novelist, and nonfiction
writer. His many books include The Great Derangement: Climate
Change and the Unthinkable, in which he explores our imaginative
failure in an age of ecological crisis. In this interview, Amitav
speaks about his newest book, The Nutmeg’s Curse: Parables for a
Planet in Crisis, and how the widespread silencing of nonhuman
voices is deeply entangled in capitalism and the geopolitical
structures that sustain it. Storytellers, he says, must lead us in
the necessary work of collective reimagining: decentering human
narratives and re-centering stories of the land.  Learn more
