Marsaoly Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description This short story collection is the work of M. S. Marsaoly, a resident of East Halmahera-an island that for centuries has been known as part of the spice islands and the Wallacea zone, where diverse ecosystems and cultures converge. Today, Halmahera stands at the heart of the global green economy. Its lands and minerals fuel the world's energy transition, yet many of its people feel increasingly uninvited to that future. As the global map speaks of the future-of green development, of battery industries, of innovation-there are bodies that are present, but never truly invited. A Body Uninvited to the Future takes us to Halmahera, an island in Eastern Indonesia where forests, oceans, and people are deeply intertwined-and now, gradually, disconnected. Through ten stories, readers are drawn into the realities of coastal communities, fishers, farmers, and young people living amid the roar of mining, the shadows of nickel extraction, and the fractures between humans and the land. These stories reveal the hidden cost of progress: when traditions are packaged as cultural performances, when the ocean no longer offers direction, when rivers lose their voices, and when ancestral names slowly disappear from the maps. From Gaya, whose body becomes an exhibit in cultural seminars, to Safa, who writes the names of lost trees on walls as an act of quiet defiance, to the vanishing language of the sea itself-each story reflects on who is truly invited into the future, and who is quietly being erased. This book is not only a record of loss, but a reminder: behind the grand slogans of the global green economy, bodies, names, and lands still struggle to be seen, heard, and remembered.Eco-social short stories Details ISBN-13 9798293144648 Title A Body Uninvited to the Future Author M.S.
