Description

Underflows: Queer Trans Ecologies and River Justice by Cleo Wölfle Hazard explores the intersection of river sciences, queer and trans theory, and environmental justice. This deeply moving account examines five sites of water conflict and restoration in California, Oregon, and Washington, highlighting innovative field research practices and an affectively oriented focus on love and grief for rivers and fish. Drawing on the concept of underflows - parts of a river's flow that can't be seen - Wölfle Hazard elucidates the underflows in river cultures, sciences, and politics where Native nations and marginalized communities fight to protect rivers. By centreing justice, sovereignty, and dynamism, this book offers critical insights into innovative ways of doing science that disrupt settler colonialism and new visions for justice in river governance. Through its exploration of river cultures and politics, Underflows sheds light on the importance of rivers for queer and trans life, highlighting the need for a more nuanced understanding of the complex relationships between humans, rivers, and the environment.
