Xander Dunlap spent a decade living and working with Indigenous activists and land defenders across the world to uncover evidence of the repression people have faced in the wake of untamed capitalist growth. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e By centring the struggles of people whose lives are being systematically destroyed, Dunlap reveals gaps within the current official debates around climate change. This includes reviewing feuds between socialist modernism and degrowth. While changing public policy could play a constructive role in remediating climate catastrophe, by understanding the successes and failures of those \"on the front lines\", it becomes clear that ecologically decentralized self-organization could be the only way out of this environmental nightmare. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eXander Dunlap\u003c\/b\u003e is a postdoctoral research fellow at the Institute for Global Sustainability, Boston University, USA, and a visiting research fellow in the Global Development Studies Department, University of Helsinki, Finland.
