解説
Based on a decade of ethnographic and archival research in Peru, this volume reveals how prevailing representations of the ocean obscure racialized disparities and the ways that different people experience the impacts of the climate crisis.
Tackling important subjects of global concern, the author presents a complex image of Peru's global seascapes as historical spaces comprising precarious worlds that expose people, nonhuman species, and places to unequal levels of harm. He traces how powerful actors in Peru represent the ocean in ways that erase the systemic inequalities, histories of uneven development, and extractive violence that have shaped ocean life. These erasures underscore the need for alternative representations of the ocean that highlight the engagements and commitments that make oceanic ecologies possible, as well as the material relationships and unequal positions of different people and species within them.
The author analyzes a multitude of timely topics, including waves and coastal development, the circulation of ocean waste, El Nino warming events, and the extraction of jumbo squid. This book also addresses expanding scholarly interest in the world's oceans as sites for thinking about social inequities, environmental politics, and multispecies relationships.
