摘要
After causing the extinction of the dodo, humans soon realised that we had the power to destroy entire species – and we continue to reckon with that power. Speaking to James Osborne, Sadiah Qureshi discusses her new book Vanished, which looks at the connections between extinction and imperialism, and explores how changing ideas about extinction have reshaped the face of the planet.
(Ad) Sadiah Qureshi is the author of Vanished: An Unnatural History of Extinction (Penguin, 2025).
