ENDGAME VOL. 2 (Soft Cover Book) $19.95

Whereas Volume 1 of Endgame presents the problem of civilization, Volume 2 of this pivotal work illustrates our means of resistance. Incensed and hopeful, impassioned and lucid, Endgame leapfrogs the environmental movement’s deadlock over our willingness to change our conduct, focusing instead on our ability to adapt to the impending ecological revolution.

DERRICK JENSEN, activist, author, small farmer, teacher, and philosopher, is the author of A Language Older Than Words and The Culture of Make Believe among other titles. A finalist for the 2003 J. Anthony Lukas Book Prize, Jensen’s writing has been described as “breaking and mending the reader’s heart” (Publishers Weekly). Jensen’s speaking engagements in recent years have packed university auditoriums, conferences, and bookstores across the nation.

Endgame Volume 1 is available here.

Resources for the civilized have always been more important than the lives of those in the colonies. A German colonial officer in South West Africa was more honest than many: “A right of the natives, which could only be realized at the expense of the development of the white race, does not exist. The idea is absurd that Bantus, Sudan-negroes, and Hottentots in Africa have the right to live and die as they please, even when by this uncounted people among the civilized peoples of Europe were forced to remain tied to a miserable proletarian existence instead of being able, by the full use of the productive capacities of our colonial possessions to rise to a richer level of existence themselves and also to help construct the whole body of human and national welfare.—from Endgame
