Dear all,
What fiction / non fiction books or writings would you recommend for young adults to introduce to them the idea of ecological/ solidarity based futures ?
Sujit and I have the following ideas but am sure you all have many more and it would be nice to compile a reading list together for children/ young adults.Ours are as follows:1. 'Year of the Weeds' by Siddhartha Sarma (Very clever and imaginative writing for young adults fictionalising the famous indigenous Niyamgiri struggle against mining )2. Daniel Greenberg's 'Free at Last ' about the Sudbury Valley School3. Entropia: Life Beyond Industrial Civilisation by Samuel Alexander4. Our own Gandhi Note book to introduce Gandhi to young readers5. Ela Bhatt's Anubandh and "We are poor but so many".6. The following chapters in Alternative futures: Ch 35, Looking Back into the Future: India, South Asia, and the world in 2010 ( pp 627-645), and Ch 18: Dare to dream ( pp 326- 340)
What else and what more would you recommend to us that can be used as a reading list for Young Adults?
Many thanks in advance!
Pallavi
