This is a book about hope in the midst of a polarized culture. Camosy begins with a hopeful starting point in the midst of a crumbling US political culture: two of every three Americans constitute an “exhausted majority” who reject right/left polarization and are open to alternative viewpoints. Especially at this time of realignment, we have been given a unique moment to put aside the frothy, angsty political debates and think harder about our deepest values. A Consistent Life Ethic, especially one which embraces Pope Francis’ challenge to resist “throwaway culture”, has the capacity to unite people who for the last several decades imagined themselves in a polarized culture war. On issues ranging from hook-up culture, reproductive technology, abortion, euthanasia, poverty, immigration, treatment of animals, and mass incarceration, this book articulates a new moral vision in which a culture of encounter and hospitality replaces a consumer culture in which the most vulnerable get used and discarded as so much trash. At bottom, Camosy offers readers a golden opportunity to dialogue about what kinds of values should serve as the foundation for a new political culture.

'Nemonte's writing is as provocative as it is inspiring' EMMA THOMPSON'One of the most effective leaders for indigenous rights and environmental justice' LAURENE POWELL JOBS'I'm here to tell you my story, which is also the story of my people and the story of this forest.'Born into the Waorani tribe of Ecuador's Amazon rainforest, Nemonte Nenquimo was taught about plant medicines, foraging, oral storytelling, and shamanism by her elders. Age 14, she left the forest for the first time to study with an evangelical missionary group in the city. Eventually, her ancestors began appearing in her dreams, pleading with her to return and embrace her own culture.She listened. Two decades later, Nemonte has emerged as one of the most forceful voices in climate-change activism. She has spearheaded the alliance of indigenous nations across the Upper Amazon and led her people to a landmark victory against Big Oil, protecting over a half million acres of primary rainforest. Her message is as sharp as the spears that her ancestors wielded - honed by her experiences battling loggers, miners, oil companies and missionaries.In this astonishing memoir, she partners with her husband Mitch Anderson, founder of Amazon Frontlines, digging into generations of oral history, uprooting centuries of conquest, hacking away at racist notions of Indigenous peoples, and ultimately revealing a life story as rich, harsh and vital as the Amazon rainforest herself.More praise for We Will Not Be Saved: 'A radical manifesto for our times' VANESSA KIRBY'An act of storytelling generosity' NATHALIE KELLY'Inspiring, moving and unforgettable' ROWAN HOOPER'Truly Inspiring and humbling' CAROLINE SANDERSON** Published in North America as WE WILL BE JAGUARS**

Mon nom est Félix Olivier et j’ai 18 ans. Pour célébrer la fin de mon cégep et mon arrivée imminente à l’université, j’ai décidé de partir quatre jours entre gars à New York avec mon meilleur ami Zack. Ça, c’était jusqu’à ce que ma petite soeur Léa vienne bousculer nos plans en s’invitant dans notre périple avec sa copine Jeanne. En plus des douaniers suspicieux et d’un chauffeur de bus excédé, je dois aussi gérer les goûts bizarroïdes de mon ami, les prises de conscience existentielles de ma soeur, le mystérieux gars qui torture le coeur de sa best et les petits bobos des deux princesses royales! Une chose est certaine : l’aventure new-yorkaise des quatre irréductibles Québécois ne sombrera pas dans l’oubli! Mon nom est Léa Olivier et j’ai 16 ans. Pour célébrer la fin de mon secondaire et mon entrée au cégep, mes parents m’ont (légèrement) aidée à convaincre mon frère Félix de me joindre à lui et son copain excentrique pour découvrir New York. Heureusement, mon amie Jeanne m’accompagne pour m’aider à pallier mes connaissances douteuses de l’anglais, mon sens de l’orientation digne de celui d’un poisson rouge et mes débats philosophiques incohérents avec Zack. Avec l’essor de la militante environnementale et de la Wonder Woman en moi, je sais que je rentrerai à Montréal transformée, bien que toujours aussi unilingue!

Entre les examens et les compétitions sportives, rien ne va plus dans la vie de Laurianne. Que ce soit à l’école ou sur Internet, Zach lui tourne autour comme un véritable chien de poche, Guillaume refuse catégoriquement de prendre la Guilde des noobs sous son aile et de les accompagner en Corée et Sam ne donne plus signe de vie ! Et le comble ! Qui aurait cru que Laurianne devrait un jour s’allier à Sarah-Jade ? Une chance qu’il y a la Ligue ! D’ailleurs, l’extension du populaire jeu vidéo n’a pas dévoilé tous ses secrets. Stargrrrl et ses amis ont rejoint les FDT, les Forces de défenses terrestres, qui sont sous le commandement du général Kilpatrick. Grâce à elles, les joueurs ont maintenant accès à des armes plus puissantes qui leur seront d’une grande aide pour combattre les androïdes descendus du ciel. Partout sur la planète virtuelle, les joueurs font reculer l’envahisseur robotique. Un peu trop facilement, même. Les robots mijotent certainement une riposte, mais laquelle ? Le ton mielleux de Zach, l’alliance improbable avec Sarah-Jade, l’absence de Sam sur les réseaux, le comportement des robots, tous ces événements et bien d’autres excitent le sens d’araignée de Laurianne. Elle est catégorique : une trahison plane dans l’air...
