Description



Trade Review
"Negative Ecologies provides a genuinely new historical analysis and nuanced ethnographic portrayal of the empire of oil. Bond captures a fundamental paradox of the taken-for-granted status of environmental management tools—thresholds and impact assessments— and specifically their role as gatekeepers, determining at what levels harm is constituted as safe, acceptable, and without corporate liability. Negative Ecologies is a must-read." * American Anthropologist *
