Black Climates
Book • 2025
Selina Nwulu's 'Black Climates' reframes the climate crisis through the lens of Black experience, arguing that colonial violence and ongoing exploitation make climate change inherently racialized.
Drawing on interviews with creatives, campaigners, and lived experience in the UK and diaspora, she examines air pollution, prison ecology, disability justice, migration, land, food, community care, and imagination.
The book combines lyrical voice with policy and grassroots analysis to centre perspectives often excluded from mainstream environmental conversations.
Nwulu foregrounds how structural injustices translate into embodied harms while proposing practices of care, community, and ordinary utopias as pathways to thriving.
Ultimately, the work calls for reparative, intersectional responses grounded in collective survival and liberation.
