About this book
Amitav Ghosh uses the Banda Islands, the only home of the nutmeg tree, as the starting point for The Nutmeg's Curse: Parables for a Planet in Crisis. He traces how European empires, above all the Dutch in the seventeenth century, took the islands by force for the spice trade, and argues that the same habit of treating land and people as resources lies behind today's climate crisis. It is non-fiction, published in 2021, and follows his earlier The Great Derangement.
