Pollution Is Colonialism by Max Liboiron

5.0

An essential, paradigm shifting book thats changed my perspective on all things science, purpose and the responsibility of asking the right questions. Liboiron explains with clarity (and humor!) the issues with environmentalism, frames their claims in decolonization literature, presents examples of how to transform scientific practices and leads by example in their citations (using citations as a relational practice). Above all, this book has deepened my understanding of larger systems, how they interact, and the need for specificity.

Highly recommend to all humans (and specifically scientists) that work on land, in the field or with communities especially those working from or in settler colonial states.
