As she skied against the backdrop of environmental devastation, rising authoritarianism, and ongoing social injustice, her attention turned to the water flowing beside her and an elemental question: What might it mean to truly listen to water? To know water? To exist with and alongside water?That question became the starting point for a profound exploration of her people's historical, cultural, and ongoing relationships with water in all its forms, including ice, snow, rain, perspiration, and breath. As these threads come together, Simpson begins to imagine a \"Theory of Water\" that invites a radical rethinking of our relationships with one another and the living world.Drawing on Nishnaabeg origin stories, personal memory, and the work of influential artists and writers, Simpson reimagines water as a source of knowledge, connection, resilience, and transformation. Theory of Water is a luminous meditation on Indigenous ways of knowing and a compelling invitation to envision a more just, interconnected future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Leanne Betasamosake Simpson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Haymarket Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/22\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.40w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798888903681\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLEANNE BETASAMOSAKE SIMPSON\u003c\/b\u003e is a Michi Saagiig Nishnaabeg writer, scholar, and musician, and is a member of Alderville First Nation in Ontario, Canada.
