  • Summary Of Way Beyond The Life Duboat By Kyle Whyte

    836 Words  | 4 Pages

    The effects of climate change are asymmetrically felt across the world. Those who contribute the most to climate change generally do not suffer its effects, while those who contribute least feel its effects tenfold. Kyle Whyte explains this asymmetry is exactly what indigenous people face. In "Way Beyond the LifeBoat", Whyte argues that if the issues of colonialism and capitalism are not addressed in climate change mitigation tactics, the suffering of indigenous peoples will continue, just as if there was no action. Whyte's argumentation, use of allegory, and evocative language creates a piece that successfully conveys his thesis to those who have not considered the environmental justice aspect of combating climate change.
