Disposable People, Disposable Planet is a collection of essays about fear and hope. The world is undergoing a sea change, and that change is being live-tweeted. In her collection of essays, Kitanya Harrison shares her journey to navigate the uncertainty and dread the upheaval is causing as well as her search for moments of hope and optimism. The title of the collection takes its name from an essay on the climate crisis, which explores the connection between people who are thrown away by societies that devalue them and the disposing of the whole planet. Each essay in the collection wrestles in some way with the question of who is valued. Who is saved? Who is tossed on the trash heap?
Pop culture and current events are the lenses through which Harrison makes her incisive observations. Whether she's talking about Jay-Z and the failures of capitalism, the wrenching fallout from Nipsey Hussle's murder, mass surveillance and Sherlock Holmes, civility as a form of social violence, Kawhi Leonard's disciplined silence, or the grotesqueries of "hustle" and "rise and grind" culture, Harrison's writing is sharp, confrontational, and challenging.
