Available to Be Poisoned

Toxicity as a Form of Life

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book explores the broader question of what it means to "live with" toxicity as a condition of life, particularly for disadvantaged communities in India. Mathur argues that the geographically uneven exposure to toxicity is a deliberate strategy of global neoliberalism to ensure that power is concentrated in the hands of the few.
