The Nutmeg's Curse

Parables for a Planet in Crisis

Amitav Ghosh

Explore the origins of our modern climate crisis in this powerful work by acclaimed writer Amitav Ghosh. From the exploitation of human life and the natural environment by Western colonialism to the ubiquitous spice nutmeg, Ghosh reveals the deep entanglement between human history and earthly materials. The Nutmeg's Curse offers a sharp critique of Western society and reflects on how our crisis is the result of a mechanistic view of the earth. Ghosh interweaves discussions on the oil trade, the migrant crisis, and Indigenous spirituality to shed light on the non-human forces that shape human history.
