Lessons for Survival: Mothering Against 'The Apocalypse' by Emily Robetau

Award-winning author and critic Emily Raboteau discusses her new book: a powerfully moving meditation on race, climate, environmental justice-and what it takes to Find Shelter. Lessons for Survival is a probing series of pilgrimages from the perspective of a mother struggling to raise her children to thrive without coming undone in an era of turbulent intersecting crises. Raboteau bears witness to the inner life of Black womanhood, motherhood, the brutalities and possibilities of cities, while celebrating the beauty and fragility of nature. This innovative work of reportage and autobiography stitches together multiple stories of protection, offering a profound sense of hope.
