"Beyond Straw Men compares the very different but interlocking national and international tensions that arise during hashtag activism and counteractivism around plastic pollution in Kenya, the United States, and Vietnam. It provides a multisited geographic approach to describing a global (yet local!) problem in a heterogeneous political world."--Max Liboiron, Memorial University of Newfoundland and Labrador, and author of Pollution Is Colonialism "Phaedra C. Pezzullo has produced a revelatory and revolutionary meditation on one of the most significant power struggles of our time. Beyond Straw Men features a caring and deep appreciation for the complexities, flaws, and beauty of the 'impure politics' surrounding plastic pollution, while centering the perspectives and experiences of Global South communities, environmental justice and disability justice advocates, and our more-than-human relatives. Her sources of evidence are solid, her arguments are persuasive, and her writing is at once engaging, serious, humorous, and uplifting. A delightful book to sit with and be inspired by in these challenging times!"--David N. Pellow, University of California, Santa Barbara, and author of What Is Critical Environmental Justice?
