Climate Change and the Environment
Emergency Skin is set in a world that has been ravaged by climate change. The oceans have risen, the weather is extreme, and the air is polluted. These environmental factors have played a major role in the development of the Change, and they continue to pose a threat to the survivors.

Racism and Prejudice
Racism and prejudice are also major themes in Emergency Skin. The novel is set in a world where people are divided by their race, ethnicity, and social status. These divisions are exacerbated by the Change, which turns people into monsters who are feared and hated by the rest of society.
Jemisin's novel challenges us to confront our own prejudices. She shows us how racism and prejudice can lead to violence and discrimination. Emergency Skin is a call to action, urging us to fight against racism and prejudice in all its forms.
The Power of Empathy
In the midst of chaos and despair, Emergency Skin offers a message of hope and unity. The novel shows us the power of empathy, the ability to understand and share the feelings of others. Empathy is what allows the survivors to connect with each other and to work together to save their world.
Jemisin's novel is a reminder that we are all human beings, regardless of our differences. We all have the capacity to feel empathy and compassion. Emergency Skin is a call to action, urging us to reach out to others, to listen to their stories, and to try to understand their experiences.
Emergency Skin is a powerful and moving novel that will stay with you long after you finish it.
