DESCRIPTION-When union leader Francisco ‘Chico' Mendes was gunned down in the remote Amazonian state of Acre late in 1988, it provoked international outrage in a Western world barely beginning to come to terms with the effects of slash-and-burn policies in Amazônia on global warming: the so-called greenhouse effect. A self-taught environmentalist and spokesman for the region's rubber tappers, Mendes became a symbol of the struggle to save a fragile ecosystem whose teeming plant and animal life are threatened by ever-encroaching development. In this richly textured, highly evocative account, Alex Shoumatoff weaves a story of violence and raw, brutal politics against a backdrop of natural grandeur and a forest people's vanishing way of life. A tale as varied and surreal as the elements of the forest itself, THE WORLD IS BURNING begins with a history of the Amazon rubber trade and of the tappers' struggle to free themselves from the near-slavery of debt peonage. Shoumatoff then details the life of Mendes: how he was taught to read and indoctrinated by a fugitive revolutionary in the forest, and how he organized human blockades against the chain-saw crews of ranchers and land speculators. The folly, corruption, and greed behind development schemes in Amazonia are fully chronicled, as is the sudden acceleration of concern about the world's rain forests. In this riveting book-at once informative, beguiling, and suspenseful-Alex Shoumatoff combines a profound knowledge of Brazilian culture, society, and natural history with a portrait of the making of a modern martyr. inventory #14523.
