More about the book

Chakrabarty's work challenges conventional notions of history and modernity by emphasizing the transformative impact of climate change on the human condition. He posits that understanding our era requires a dual perspective—recognizing both the constructed nature of globalization and the de-centering effect of the planetary Earth system. The book critically examines the shortcomings of Marxist and postcolonial scholarship in addressing anthropogenic climate issues, culminating in a dialogue with Bruno Latour that deepens the exploration of the Anthropocene's implications for historical and political thought.
