Travelling from Malawi to California to the White House, Anita Chitaya meets climate sceptics and despairing farmers. Her journey takes her across all the divisions shaping the US, from the rural-urban divide, to schisms of race, class and gender, to the thinking that allows Americans to believe they live on a different planet from everyone else.

 

It will take all her skill and experience to help Americans recognise, and free themselves from, a logic that is already destroying the Earth.
