Geography & the Environment
Description
Environments of power provides unique case studies of environmental inclusion and exclusion across the Americas, Africa, Japan, India, and the South-Pacific. Using more-than-human and Indigenist approaches, chapters focus on Indigenous environmental resistance, marginalisation across social and physical environments, ecology as art, and how local communities are caught up in and resist development and infrastructure projects. The book demonstrates how environments influence which bodies and other matter belong (or not) in certain places.

Endorsements
Environments of power demonstrates how environments teach us who we are and where we belong. This collection explains the role of environments, whether physical or virtual, in the production of spatial and social power. A range of environmental phenomena are examined where race is salient to excluding Indigenous peoples and peoples of colour from social, political and geographical spaces. Case studies include environmental activism against the Dakota Access Pipeline in the United States, Pasifika histories of migration in the South Pacific, and policing, development, and infrastructure projects across the South Pacific and the Americas. Essential for those exploring environmental justice, anti-racist education, cultural geography and history, this book demonstrates how environments influence which bodies and other matter belong - or not - in certain places.
