Description
The Extractive Zone: Social Ecologies and Decolonial Perspectives by Macarena Gómez-Barris This book explores the ways in which communities are resisting the destructive effects of extractive capital, and how they are creating alternative forms of social and political life. Gómez-Barris examines the work of Indigenous activists, intellectuals, and artists in South America, who are using art, politics, and everyday practices to challenge the legacies of colonialism and racial capital. Through case studies of artists, activists, and collectives, Gómez-Barris reveals the ways in which decolonial theory is being applied in practice, and how new vocabularies are being developed to describe alternative forms of living. By examining the politics of resistance and the aesthetics of decoloniality, this book provides a nuanced understanding of the complex relationships between social justice, environmental conservation, and Indigenous rights. By tracing the emergence of new modes of living beyond the boundaries of extractive capital, Gómez-Barris offers a powerful critique of the dominant economic and political systems, and a vision for a more just and sustainable future.
