• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The vast majority of books that clash with the planet crisis and try to determine its roots and the factors that affected and exacerbate them begin to narrate the era of the rise of capitalism, or the industrial revolution. What distinguishes Gush's approach is that it is not satisfied with that, but rather returns to the era of settlement colonialism and the beginnings of colonial modernity to understand a deeper understanding of the series of violent changes that it brought about in the world. From reshaping and selling the land, turning the relationship with it into a consumer monopolistic relationship, launching a war of genocide against the original population, or on the system of their lives and the destruction of their cultures, whose relationship with the land was a relationship of coexistence and sanctification, there is no relationship of acquisition. As the earth and the network of organisms and plants associated with it, and still, in their beliefs and practices, were a living system, not a space for exploitation, profit and attrition, and a resource for accumulating capital, as is the case in the end of colonial modernity. It uses the story of nutmeg, its transformations and its path as a commodity and the colonization of the Panda Islands as the ideal of the structure of the book's thesis and links the practices and ideology of settlement colonialism, modernity and capitalism that were created and exacerbated, concealed, the planet crisis. Gush moves from the archipelago of the Panda Islands and what the Dutch colonists committed and the Dutch East India Company, which is considered one of the pioneers of capitalism, to northern America to follow what he calls "permanent wars" (whose consequences continue to this day where the toxic waste lying in the lands of the protected) against the original peoples in the century And the seventeenth and after it, which were not only wars against the bodies, but against the system of life and were "political biological" wars. "Colonialism, genocide, and organized violence structures are the foundations on which industrial modernity was built."
