Abstract
This
paper uses a Foucauldian discourse analysis lens to examine the discourse,
cybernetic mapping and spatial and temporal reach of William Commanda and his
informal bridge building Circle of All Nations global eco peace community and
queries its relevance to academic study of environmental and social justice
relational issues during this age of the Anthropocene, and times of climate
change, extreme weather, unprecedented extinction of species, systemic and
overt racism, violence, global pandemic and social upheaval across the
globe. It explores the nature and
relevance of his discourse, inclusive of the Seven Fires Prophecy, which
anticipated times of unprecedented
global crisis embedded in the ancient mnemonic Wampum Belt of the 1400s.
William Commanda was born in 1913, on the eve of the First World War; it is
ironic that the Isaias hurricane,
tornadoes and flooding were unleashed on August 3, 2020, nine years after his
death, in a world on fire at multiple levels, and one hurtling on an
evolutionary trajectory of unforeseeable change and challenge.
