A historically grounded and embodied understanding of geological transformation.
No geology is neutral, writes Kathryn Yusoff, in her examination of how the grammar of geology is foundational to establishing the extractive economies of subjective life and the earth under colonialism and slavery. She initiates a transdisciplinary conversation between black feminist theory, geography, and the earth sciences, addressing the politics of the Anthropocene within the context of race, materiality, deep time, and the afterlives of geology.
Kathryn Yusoff is Professor of Inhuman Geography at Queen Mary University of London.
