Racing Climate Change
The planet is warming. The right to safety remains unequal.
A woman works through dangerous heat because stopping means losing her income. A coastal community moves inland, only to discover that new houses do not guarantee water, livelihoods, or a functioning school. A migrant cares for another family while immigration rules keep her own apart.
In Racing Climate Change, these everyday struggles reveal how climate disasters become social crises. Focusing on tropical regions and women in the Global South, the book examines how heat, rising seas, floods, droughts, and fires interact with racial inequality, caste, gender, and colonial histories.
From GarÃfuna territorial struggles in Honduras to community relocation in Panama and Fiji, the analysis follows people defending their homes, negotiating change, and confronting institutions that control access to protection. It also examines the guarded promises of cooler countries, where demand for migrant labor coexists with exclusion and anti-immigration politics.
Written for general readers, this book asks who benefits when the costs of survival fall on those with the least power, and how collective action can change those arrangements. Who gets the means to stay? Who gets permission to move? And who must keep waiting for a livable future?
