Description
Book SynopsisFrom radioactive waste to coral reefs, this environmental humanities volume reconsiders contamination and pollution as toxic timescapes: dynamic events with both temporal and spatial dimensions.
Trade Review“An ambitiously interdisciplinary volume offering thought-provoking new ways for considering how toxic landscapes challenge a linear, colonialist, and capitalist model of time-as-progress.”
Environmental toxicology, exposure, and risk cannot be meaningfully analyzed simply as unfortunate situations or events in isolation from the neocolonialism and complex sociocultural contexts that initiate and perpetuate them. This book is rich in detail, sobering in perspective, and for the most part pleasingly free of jargon. Summing up: highly recommended. * Choice *
