Dahr Jamail – författare

With a new afterword by the authorsA powerful, intimate collection of conversations with Indigenous Americans on the climate crisis and the Earth’s futureAlthough for a great many people, the human impact on the Earth—countless species becoming extinct, pandemics claiming millions of lives, and climate crisis causing worldwide social and environmental upheaval—was not apparent until recently, this is not the case for all people or cultures. For the Indigenous people of the world, radical alteration of the planet, and of life itself, is a story that is many generations long. They have had to adapt, to persevere, and to be courageous and resourceful in the face of genocide and destruction—and their experience has given them a unique understanding of civilizational devastation.An American Library Association Notable Book, We Are the Middle of Forever places Indigenous voices at the center of conversations about today’s environmental crisis. The book draws on interviews with people from different North American Indigenous cultures and communities, generations, and geographic regions, who share their knowledge and experience, their questions, their observations, and their dreams of maintaining the best relationship possible to all of life. A welcome antidote to the despair arising from the climate crisis, We Are the Middle of Forever will be an indispensable aid to those looking for new and different ideas and responses to the challenges we face.

Despite tremendous sentiment against the American-led occupations, citizens and soldiers continue to die. Award-winning journalist Jamail shows a new generation of American soldiers taking opposition into its own hands. As one of the few unembedded journalists in Iraq, he investigates the growing anti-war resistance of GIs embodied in organisations such as Iraq Veterans Against the War. Gathering stories from these courageous men and women, Jamail makes explicit the betrayal committed by politicians.

The yearly volumes of Censored, in continuous publication since 1976 and since 1995 available through Seven Stories Press, is dedicated to the stories that ought to be top features on the nightly news, but that are missing because of media bias and self-censorship. The top stories are listed democratically in order of importance according to students, faculty, and a national panel of judges. Each of the top stories is presented at length, alongside updates from the investigative reporters who broke the stories.

As seen in The New York Times, Men's Journal, Smithsonian.com, and The GuardianThe author who Jeremy Scahill calls the "quintessential unembedded reporter" visits "hot spots" around the world in a global quest to discover how we will cope with our planet's changing ecosystemsAfter nearly a decade overseas as a war reporter, the acclaimed journalist Dahr Jamail returned to America to renew his passion for mountaineering, only to find that the slopes he had once climbed have been irrevocably changed by climate disruption. In response, Jamail embarks on a journey to the geographical front lines of this crisis—from Alaska to Australia's Great Barrier Reef, via the Amazon rainforest—in order to discover the consequences to nature and to humans of the loss of ice.In The End of Ice, we follow Jamail as he scales Denali, the highest peak in North America, dives in the warm crystal waters of the Pacific only to find ghostly coral reefs, and explores the tundra of St. Paul Island where he meets the last subsistence seal hunters of the Bering Sea and witnesses its melting glaciers. Accompanied by climate scientists and people whose families have fished, farmed, and lived in the areas he visits for centuries, Jamail begins to accept the fact that Earth, most likely, is in a hospice situation. Ironically, this allows him to renew his passion for the planet's wild places, cherishing Earth in a way he has never been able to before.Like no other book, The End of Ice offers a firsthand chronicle—including photographs throughout of Jamail on his journey across the world—of the catastrophic reality of our situation and the incalculable necessity of relishing this vulnerable, fragile planet while we still can.

Since 2001, unembedded journalist Dahr Jamail has filed indispensable reports from Iraq that have made him this generation's chronicler of the unfolding disaster there. His behind-the-scenes book takes us past the lies of our political leaders, past the cowardice of the mainstream press, into the streets, homes and lives of Iraqis living under US occupation. He also reveals never-before-published details about the siege of Fallujah and the origins of the Iraq insurgency. Includes a foreword by Amy Goodman, host of the Democracy Now! radio programme.

Wie können wir den immer häufigeren Hitzewellen begegnen?Wie bereiten wir uns am besten auf nahende Überflutungen und Lebensmittelknappheit vor?Und wie behalten wir Hoffnung in krisengeplagten Zeiten?Fragen wie diese scheinen westlichen Gesellschaften angesichts der Klimakrise, die weltweite soziale und ökologische Umwälzungen verursacht, aktueller denn je. Doch zahlreiche Bevölkerungsgruppen waren schon vor Jahrhunderten mit ihnen konfrontiert. Für Indigene Gruppen sind sie Teil einer generationenüberdauernden Geschichte von Unterdrückung, Pandemie, Hungersnot, Umsiedlung und zerstörerischem Krieg. Allein dank ihrer Resilienz sind Indigene Menschen noch heute in Nordamerika präsent und verfügen mit ihren Erfahrungen über ein einzigartiges Verständnis für zivilisatorische Zerstörungen. In Gesprächen mit Stan Rushworth und Dahr Jamail teilen Angehörige verschiedener nordamerikanischer Nations und ganz unterschiedlichen Alters ihre Sicht auf die Welt. Das Ergebnis ist ein innovatives Forschungs- und Reportagewerk, das Indigene Stimmen in den Mittelpunkt der Gespräche über die heutige Umweltkrise stellt.Von geschmolzenen Gletschern über Migration, Generationentraumata, den unbändigen Willen zu überleben und Visionen für eine mögliche Zukunft, die sich aus einer Tausende Jahre umspannenden Geschichte ableiten, kann die Welt lernen, was es braucht, um sich den aktuellen Krisen der Gegenwart zu stellen.
