BOOKS
Flourishing diversity manifesto
Chris Knight and Jerome Lewis
2025
Based on the principle that the flourishing of diversity is fundamental to the existence of life on Earth, the authors have prepared a guide with solutions to the current climate crisis. In this sense, the manifesto proposes supporting environmental diversity and the knowledge and practices of indigenous and local communities as a source of diversity on the planet – an expression of cognitive changes also guided by Selvagem and the Living Schools. The book features illustrations by Aza, Cristine Takuá, Larissa Baniwa, Mongemba BaYaka, Selvagem, Sueli Maxakali, Thais Desana, Wewito Piyãko, Moisés Piyãko, and Yaka Huni Kui.
