Title: The Nutmeg's Curse Author: Amitav Ghosh Narrator: Sam Dastor Format: mp3 Length: 10 hrs and 12 mins Release date: 10-14-21 Ratings: 5 out of 5 stars, 19 ratings Genres: Climate Change Publisher's Summary: The history of the nutmeg is one of conquest and exploitation - of both human life and the natural environment - and the origin of our contemporary climate crisis. Tracing the threats to our future to the discovery of the New World and the sea route to the Indian Ocean, The Nutmeg's Curse argues that the dynamics of climate change are rooted in a centuries-old geopolitical order constructed by Western colonialism. The story of the nutmeg becomes a parable revealing the ways human history has always been entangled with earthly materials.
