Friendship as a political practice can help us imagine a world beyond ethnonationalism and ecological crises and find new ways to be together.

Can friendship as a political practice offer enough traction to imagine a borderless world? The startling contemporary rise in aggressive ethno-nationalism and end-times ecological crises have the same root: an inability to be together with humans as much as the natural world. Matt Hern and Am Johal suggest that porous renditions of being-together animated by friendship can spark a repoliticization of the political to surpass the foreclosures of the state, speak to a freedom of movement, and find renovated relationships with the more-than-human. This volume includes interviews with Jean-Luc Nancy, Leela Gandhi and Leanne Simpson.

Matt Hern is a founder and co-director of Solid State Community Industries.

Am Johal is the Director of SFU's Vancity Office of Community Engagement.

O-Ton: »Friendships offer us companionship - but can they also re-ignite our hope in the future of the planet?« - Matt Hern and Am Johal in The Early Edition on 15.03.2024.
