 https://www.eventbrite.com/e/white-skin-black-fuel-fossil-fascism-and-colonialisms-inky-legacy-tickets-162855460065\n\n\nJoin 
 us for an urgent discussion on the rise of the far right and what it means 
 for the battle against climate change.\nAbout this event\n\nFossil-fueled 
 technologies were born in the soot-covered pits of British colonialism and 
 have held onto their racist legacy to this day. As the burning of carbon 
 makes climate related catastrophe a near weekly occurrence, Fossil capital 
 has of late turned to willing accomplices among the growing far-right to 
 displace blame and defend the status quo. \n\nIn a world of rising sea 
 levels, scorching temperatures, and crippling droughts, the right-wing in 
 country after country has risen to pin the blame on migrants, Muslims, and 
 other scapegoats as they offer their own solutions to a warming world: 
 close the borders and save the nation from climate break down.\n\nIn the 
 first study of the far right’s role in the climate crisis, "White Skin, 
 Black Fuel" (https://www.versobooks.com/books/3812-white-skin-black-fuel) 
 presents an eye-opening sweep of this novel political constellation, 
 drawing out its deep historical roots, and arguing that to confront this 
 crisis requires combating the racist forces of reaction who would enable 
 it.\n\n***Register through Eventbrite to receive a link to the video 
 conference on the day of the event. This event will also be recorded and

 captioning.***\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nSpeakers:\n\nDounia
