Humanity’s Last Stand

“Humanity’s Last Stand is a call to arms to elevate our thinking to the species level or, Schuller cautions, the species will face extinction.”

—Cynthia McKinney, activist and former Congresswoman, from the foreword

“Schuller’s brilliant book is critical reading for all of us who work to envision, and bring into being, a socially and ecologically just world. Grounded in a politics of solidarity built through the understanding of, and dismantling of privilege, he mobilizes a new vision for what ‘an anthropological imagination’ can afford us in terms of activist practice and radical empathy.”

—Paige West, editor of From Reciprocity to Relationality: Anthropological Possibilities

“An urgent and much needed contribution to our world in crisis. Schuller lays out crucial ground work for how an anthropological reimagining of global social, political, and economic relationships can save us from ourselves. In clear prose he shows the public how anthropology can be deployed as a way to create more empathy in these troubling times.”

—Jason De León, author of The Land of Open Graves: Living and Dying on the Migrant Trail
