A Billion Black Anthropocenes Or None
No geology is neutral. Tracing the color line of the Anthropocene, this book examines how the grammar of geology is foundational to establishing the extractive economies of subjective life and the earth under colonialism and slavery. The author initiates a transdisciplinary conversation between feminist black 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.

this took way longer to read than i'd expected because of how small the book is, but the language was so unnecessarily opaque. a good resource for bibliography-digging though, and useful when you just need to cite something/someone for saying "ecocriticism has a race problem"
