A powerful work of history, essay, testimony, and polemic, The Nutmeg’s Curse argues that the dynamics of climate change today are rooted in a centuries-old geopolitical order constructed by Western colonialism. At the center of Ghosh’s narrative is the now-ubiquitous spice nutmeg. The history of the nutmeg is one of conquest and exploitation—of both human life and the natural environment. In Ghosh’s hands, the story of the nutmeg becomes a parable for our environmental crisis.

A book dense with history that is rarely shared or discussed, ideas around plant and more than human intelligence, conversation about power, capitalism, environment and our role on this planet and the future of existence

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 50
Traveling in Europe in August 1938, one year before the outbreak of World War II, David Kurtz, the author’s grandfather, captured three minutes of ordinary life in a small, predominantly Jewish town in Poland on 16 mm Kodachrome color film. More than seventy years later, through the brutal twists of history, these few minutes of home-movie footage would become a memorial to an entire community - an entire culture - that was annihilated in the Holocaust.

Glenn Kurtz has written something that transcends categories. It is a detective story; with the picture of a community and its mysteries coming into focus after fascinating and laborious research. It is an intimate kind of history told through ordinary people surviving extraordinary times. It is also a meditation on memory and loss. In this way it transcends its subject matter and serves as an open door for us to examine our own lives and communities; what is forgotten and what we choose to preserve against the endless march of time.
The reader has also done an extraordinary job with the nuanced dialects of the characters portrayed. In every aspect I love this book.
