  • Jacobin Radio: Mike Davis, Meleiza Figueroa, and Ali Meders-Knight on the fires this time
    Suzi talks to writer, historian, urban and environmental theorist Mike Davis, Mechoopda Tribal Citizen and traditional land steward Ali Meders Knight, and urban geographer and environmental and social justice activist Meleiza Figueroa about the megafires engulfing much of the West Coast from Southern California to the Pacific Northwest. Our imaginations can barely comprehend the speed or scale of the catastrophe we are undergoing – along with the pandemic – and the headlines spell it out. The actuality of climate change and accelerating apocalypse can be seen in the red, orange and black skies across much of California and Oregon. Our guests help us understand this new reality and how we got here.  They also point to the alternative traditions of land management that can be utilized to radically change the way we deal with these megafires.
