by Tamiko Beyer (Author)
Last Days is a practice of radical imagination for our current political and environmental crises. It excavates the conditions that have brought us here "white supremacy, heteropatriarchy, corporate power, capitalism "and calls ancestors, birds, organizers, and lovers to conjure a new world. It explores how to transform our future to be more beautiful, more just, and more compassionate than we can imagine.
