It asks into critical questions for our time: \u003ci\u003eWhat becomes possible when we slow down enough to listen? To each other, to the land, and to the wisdom of those who came before? How do we inhabit this timeplace with grit, play, and creativity, for the sake of nothing less than our humanity?\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom the patient cultivation of a lychee tree to the collective harmony of a Hawaiian song contest, Wong reveals how meaningful change depends not on individual heroes or industrial-scale solutions: it's built on relationship, deep listening, and shared effort.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs centralized institutions falter, climate collapse accelerates, and AI cannibalizes human creativity, this short, ingenius book is a breath of fresh air. Norma Wong guides us toward enduring pathways rooted in community resilience, from a seven-generation framework that expands our sense of time and responsibility to \"relational microgrids\"—small, connected communities rooted in \u003ci\u003ealoha\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003ekōkua\u003c\/i\u003e, and collective action.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs Wong writes in her inimitable voice, \u003ci\u003eChoosing Humanity\u003c\/i\u003e is a vital invitation to cast \"w-a-a-a-y back” so we can leap “w-a-a-a-y forward.\" At turns playful, serious, and anchored in the gravity of meeting this moment with care and skill, Wong helps us become good ancestors who care for the land instead of claiming ownership. She guides us to reclaim our human sentience. And she shows us that it's possible to imagine, build, and live into a future in which we choose each other and the wider world to which we belong.","brand":"North Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50971753349375,"sku":"9798889844587","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9798889844587","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
