How Beautiful We Were by Imbolo Mbue tells the story of a fictional African village called Kosawa as it fights for environmental justice with the American oil company Pexton. While this is a work of fiction, it contains many parallels to modern climate stories, and I believe it has valuable lessons for us as we face the climate emergency.
