Description
Plantation Worlds by Maan Barua explores the complex histories and ecologies of plantations in the Indian state of Assam. Over fifteen years of research, Barua examines how these industrial systems have shaped the region's landscape, resources, and lives of both people and elephants. The author sheds light on the experiences of Adivasi plantation workers and the lifeworlds of elephants, revealing possibilities for a decolonial imaginary of landscape amidst exploitation. By examining the extractive logics and colonial legacies that prevail in these systems, Barua prompts a rethinking of multispecies ecologies and their structures. This book offers an alternative grammar for articulating environmental change, drawing on the margins of the Global South to challenge dominant perspectives on environmental issues.
