Introducing Ricardo’s first book! The Land Knows the Way: Eco-Social Insights for Liberation is a collection of political medicines – gathered and gleaned from six decades of trickster art and activism, the long history of peoples’ movements, and the deep rhythms of our planet’s ecology
The Land Knows the Way offers ways to creatively and effectively respond to living in times that are, on the one hand, unprecedented and unique, and on the other, part of longstanding and familiar historical cycles. If we are to learn from what history and ecology have to teach us, we need to become reacquainted with both. But don’t expect a road map. From the preface:
“There’s no map with our route marked out for us. Maps are useful instruments. They are like a snapshot of the lay of the land at a moment in time. But in a landscape constantly shifting, they are not enough. Effective strategies do not emerge from certainties, but from attentiveness. We need to be able to read the land—in its natural, social, and historical dimensions—sense changes in wind direction, identify opportunities and spot hidden dangers.”
