Hospicing Modernity | Vanessa Machado de Oliveira

 

This one packs a punch. Machado de Oliveira comes from an indigenous Brazilian background, had a brutal early life, and went on to become a top academic in Canada. Hospicing Modernity is a raw, original fusion of two worlds — and a brutal indictment of our dying culture.

The book challenges the entire structure of Western thought, including its radical wings. It forces us to reckon with grief, death, and the end of the world as we know it — not as a metaphor, but as lived reality. A painful but essential read.
