Book Club: Hospicing Modernity by Vanessa Machado de Oliveira
As a group, we’ll gather virtually to reflect and inquire together, bringing our lived experiences, our questions, and our longings for different futures. This book club is a space to slow down with others doing this work, to build community, and to explore how the process of “hospicing modernity” can move off the page and into our daily lives, bodies, relationships, and communities.

Kyle Whyte writes of Hospicing Modernity:
“Beyond a mere critique of modernity, this is a book written for us as people who struggle with the everyday manifestations of modern power. Clear, creative, and cogent, the work offers cutting-edge philosophy while furnishing usable guidance for how to cope with the coming perils of colonialism and capitalism. It’s a book for the future yet written to meet us where we are right now—as individuals living with trauma and facing ethical dilemmas about what it means to take meaningful actions under conditions of complexity.”
