Abstract

Bibliodiversity is a complex self-sustaining system of storytelling, writing, publishing, and other kinds of production of orature and literature. Writers and producers are comparable to the inhabitants of an ecosystem. Bibliodiversity contributes to a thriving life of culture and a healthy ecosocial system.

Global capitalism is destroying the planet and making it increasingly difficult to think differently. When the social habitat is overrun by monocultures of the mind, there is a loss of dynamic balance. Those who do have something new or different to say will be ignored, marginalized, or silenced.
