The Dig: Organizing Amid Rising Tides
Summary
<p>Dan speaks to Elizabeth Rush, the author of <i>Rising: Dispatches from the New American Shore</i>, a lyrical, mournful but ultimately hopeful account of people dealing with amongst the most tangible effects of global warming right now: the rising seas that are threatening poor and working-class people with dislocation, community destruction and compounded destitution. It's a beautifully-written guide to the current crisis that sugarcoats nothing yet that highlights how ordinary people can organize to fight for their future and that of the planet where we live.</p><p>Thanks to Verso Books.
