White Skin, Black Fuel: On the Danger of Fossil Fascism, written by Andreas Malm and the Zetkin Collective, is a powerful investigation into the connection between the far right and the climate crisis. The book argues that climate denial is not accidental, but rather an ideological stance deeply rooted in racism, colonialism, and the defense of the fossil fuel order. Through detailed analysis of speeches, policies, and political movements in Europe and the United States, Malm shows how many far-right parties combine white nationalism with the protection of fossil interests. The book warns of the rise of “fossil fascism” and calls for an urgent and radical ecological response that also challenges existing power structures.
