Sarah Babiker Moreno in conversation with Carlos Zeballos Velarde

Even in the cities most dehumanized by neoliberalism, there is room for hope if we begin with the dignity of their inhabitants. That's why La nada fértil, by journalist and anthropologist Sarah Babiker Moreno (Spain), goes beyond being an essay that interweaves stories criticizing the precarity we experience. It addresses all stages of life from a feminist perspective to depict an inhospitable and precarious landscape —in housing, education, relationships and employment— that suffocates us, yet whose citizens confront with affection and tenderness. The wasteland of the city blossoms into a field of social relationships and support networks that strive for a better life.
