More about the book
The book explores a forest community in Palawan, Philippines, as they confront the impacts of climate change and grapple with feelings of self-blame for environmental challenges. Historically marginalized by government policies post-World War II, Indigenous residents abandoned traditional practices, only to face drought and erratic weather. The author delves into the interplay between cultural norms, dispossession, and climate-driven hunger, highlighting how these factors contribute to narratives of self-blame among Indigenous peoples. The work calls for a reevaluation of global environmental policy assumptions.
