Dismantling Empire with Derrick Jensen: Questions and answers about deep green resistance and fighting to win
Award-winning author Derrick Jensen would consider the label
"uncivilized" a compliment. But then, he's not your garden-variety
California environmentalist.
The author of
Endgame and
A Language Older Than Words
is a vehement anti-capitalist and outspoken anti-authoritarian, but he
refuses to be categorized as either an anarchist or a socialist.
Jensen's latest collaboration is Deep Green Resistance. The
book began as a series of workshops and developed into a movement that
challenges mainstream environmentalists to drop the silly stunts and
take up decisive tactics.
"This book is about fighting back. And this book is about winning."
– Derrick Jensen, in the preface to Deep Green Resistance
