Omschrijving
Analyses the ethical debates and political contexts relating to Latin American ‘rights of nature’ legislation and the political ontology of nonhuman political speech within a framework of intercultural and multispecies diplomacy.
“A thoroughly researched and well-written book on a pressing topic, Anderson's conceptualization of the rights of nature is of interest not only to Latin American scholars but also to researchers working on environmental rights in other geographical contexts.” - Patrícia Vieira, author of States of Grace: Utopia in Brazilian Culture
“Drawing on a collection of primary texts and the theorization of influential scholars and thinkers/activists from beyond the academy (e.g., the Yanomami, the Zapatistas, Indigenous social movements in Ecuador and Mexico), Anderson observes the increasingly untenable conceptual, political, and physical divide between human and other-than-human worlds that has come to light over the last century, largely as a consequence of the global climate crisis.” - Tracy Devine Guzmán, author of Native and National in Brazil: Indigeneity after Independence
Mark Anderson is an associate professor at the University of Georgia. He is the author of Disaster Writing: The Cultural Politics of Catastrophe in Latin America.
