Boston Book Festival

Philosopher, performer, and professor, Mohamed Amer Meziane will present his book The States of the  Earth, offering a rereading of the history of Western modernity during the 19th century through the lenses of both its colonial matrix and its environmental consequences. In a world where material technology was considered divine, religious and secular forces both tried to achieve Heaven on Earth by destroying Earth itself. The author will be interviewed by Aliko Songolo and there will be an opportunity for audience Q&A.
