The work of Indigenous activists, intellectuals, and artists in spaces G?mez-Barris labels extractive zones--majority indigenous regions in South America noted for their biodiversity and long history of exploitative natural resource extraction--resist and refuse the terms of racial capital and the continued legacies of colonialism. Extending decolonial theory with race, sexuality, and critical Indigenous studies, G?mez-Barris develops new vocabularies for alternative forms of social and political life. She shows how from Colombia to southern Chile artists like filmmaker Huichaqueo Perez and visual artist Carolina Caycedo formulate decolonial aesthetics. She also examines the decolonizing politics of a Bolivian anarcho-feminist collective and a coalition in eastern Ecuador that protects the region from oil drilling. In so doing, G?mez-Barris reveals the continued presence of colonial logics and locates emergent modes of living beyond the boundaries of destructive extractive capital.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMacarena Gómez-Barris is Chair of the Department of Social Science and Cultural Studies at the Pratt Institute, author of \u003ci\u003eWhere Memory Dwells: Culture and State Violence in Chile\u003c\/i\u003e, and coeditor of \u003ci\u003eToward a Sociology of the Trace\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Duke University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50503941161234,"sku":"9780822368977","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_65ad6dd9-4602-4484-ac3d-35d407e21b50.jpg?v=1730805402","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/the-extractive-zone-social-ecologies-and-decolonial-perspectives-9780822368977","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
