| Summary: |
"Zazu dreams is a fable for adults, written as a children's narrative. A tale of environmental justice, a Sephardic boy and his imaginary Malamute husky traverse the globe on a humpback whale. Their adventures unfold as they witness contrary human ecologies--experiencing symbiotic and contentious relationships between humans and the environment. Crossing temporal dimensions and international borders, past, present, and future overlap through phantasmagorical encounters with historical heroes like Jacques Cousteau, Harriet Tubman, Spinoza, Rachel Carson, and ibn Sina, and 21st century villains like NestleĢ, Merck, Exxon, and Monsanto--Big Pharma, Big Oil, and Agribusiness giants that stalk the planet"--Page 4 of cover. |
