Green Land, Brown Land, Black Land: An Environmental History of Africa, 1800-1990: James C. Mccann

James C. McCann provides a synthesis of evidence and a narrative of Africa’s evironmental history over the past two centuries. In a book readily accessible to undergraduates and nonspecialists, Professor McCann argues that far from being pristine and primordial spaces, Africa’s landscapes were created by human activity. This argument contrasts strongly with the idealized notions of an African Eden commonly held in the West and in Africa itself. It also confronts more recent alarm about degradation of Africa’s natural and human resources by examining the historical evidence of environmental change. Key topics within the book are the effects of population growth, disease, agricultural change, the state of natural resources, and the changing role of the state in how Africans have managed and changed their own landscapes.

James C. McCann is Professor of History and director of the African Studies Center at Boston University.

Quote: “Don’t Choose Extinction” by the T-Rex at COP27 in Sharm el Sheikh, Eg ypt

Paul Beckwith

Dec 9, 2022

At COP27 there were a number of very old fossils, including a T-Rex and over 650 fossil fuel lobbyists.

In this video, the T-Rex is sauntering around telling people to not choose extinction. It does not want humanity to follow the path of the dinosaurs.

The big difference, of course, is that the dinosaurs had no choice, since they had no knowledge of the threat and no technology to avoid the large chunk of rock from space that caused their rapid demise.

Humanity does have the choice, knowledge, and technology to avoid extinction but instead of doing anything logical we continue to plunge onwards to collective oblivion.
