Undrowned

Black Feminist Lessons from Marine Mammals (Emergent Strategy)

Alexis Pauline Gumbs

Explore the wisdom and guidance of marine mammals with Undrowned, a powerful meditation for social movements and our species. Author Alexis Pauline Gumbs draws on the complexity, conflicts, and survival struggles of our queer, fierce, and protective aquatic cousins to offer a new perspective on social justice. Through a mix of poetry and naturalist observation, Undrowned encourages us to wonder and question what marine mammals can teach us about our extractive and militarized society. From the North Atlantic Right Whale to echolocation, Gumbs expertly employs metaphor and natural models to inspire transformative action.
