Planetary Specters

Discover the compelling insights of Planetary Specters by Neel Ahuja, published by The University of North Carolina Press in 2021. This thought-provoking hardback, spanning 224 pages, delves into the complex narrative surrounding climate refugees in public media and policy over the last decade. Ahuja critically examines how journalists, security experts, politicians, and NGOs have frequently oversimplified the multifaceted issues of climate change, often obscuring the intricate processes that drive mass migration. With a keen analytical eye, this book challenges readers to reconsider the prevailing narratives and highlights the urgent need for a more nuanced understanding of the climate crisis. Ideal for anyone interested in environmental studies, sociology, and migration issues, Planetary Specters is a vital addition to contemporary discourse on climate change and its far-reaching implications.
