More on: Historical Injustice

The podcast episodes on 'Amitav Ghosh on colonialism & the climate crisis' Episode 54037 and 'Truganini: The Story of Tasmania's First People' Episode 9597 both explore how historical injustices perpetrated by colonial powers have had lasting impacts, including on the current climate crisis.

Ghosh argues that the global exploitation of resources by Western colonial powers is inextricably linked to the climate crisis, while the episode on Truganini chronicles the near-destruction of the Aboriginal Tasmanians at the hands of British colonizers.
