Standup Tragedy - Derrick Jensen

Jensen is often labeled an anarcho-primitivist, by which is meant he concludes that civilization is inherently unsustainable and based on violence. He argues that the modern industrial economy is fundamentally at odds with healthy relationships, the natural environment, and indigenous peoples. He concludes that the very pervasiveness of these behaviors indicates that they are diagnostic symptoms of the greater problem of civilization itself. Accordingly, he exhorts readers and audiences to help bring an end to industrial civilization.

This double CD - totalling more than two hours in length - chronicles Derrick Jensen's live spoken word tour across the US in 2000/2001. One CD is essentially the talk Derick gave on the 'Language Older Than Words' tour, and the other CD is a "best of" Q and A.
