It presents a fresh critique of capitalism and colonialism that emerges from a \u003ci\u003equilombola\u003c\/i\u003e perspective.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNêgo Bispo lays out a set of terms and concepts developed over his lifetime, based on ancestral \u003ci\u003equilombola\u003c\/i\u003e knowledge. His key concept is \"counter-colonialism\" – a practice of confronting and undoing colonial domination through \u003ci\u003equilombola\u003c\/i\u003e modes of life, struggle, and thought. He argues that the hyper-individualistic, capitalistic, colonial approach to cultivating the earth sees the land as subservient to its desires. A \u003ci\u003equilombo\u003c\/i\u003e cosmovision, by contrast, understands that our desires are always in dialogue with the wants and needs of the earth – we must live in harmony with the earth, animals, and people, and if we take from the earth, we must also give to the earth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis remarkable book introduces a new perspective on the debates about the destructive consequences of capitalism and colonialism and will be of interest to anyone who wants to think about how we live in relation to each other and to the earth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIntroduction – Renata Marquez\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSowing Words\u003cbr\u003eCities and Cosmophobia\u003cbr\u003eWe are Sharers\u003cbr\u003eArchitecture and Counter-Colonialism\u003cbr\u003eColonialism of Submission\u003cbr\u003eFree Raising, Fenced Planting\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbout the Author\u003cbr\u003eAbout the Artist\u003cbr\u003eNotes\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Archaeology [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Archaeology\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Archaeology%20%5BHD%5D%22\"\u003eHD\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Polity","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52453490098456,"sku":"9781509570201","price":12.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9781509570201.jpg?v=1785285102","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-earth-gives-the-earth-wants-paperback-softback-9781509570201","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
