The book applies Achille Mbembe's theorization of necropolitics to the environmental racism of the US War on Drugs in Colombia, specifically the aerial eradication of coca in the \u003ci\u003ecomunidades negras\u003c\/i\u003e of the Pacific Coast. Through critical examination and deconstruction of transnational mythmaking and local oral tradition, \u003ci\u003eV\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003ci\u003eisions \u003c\/i\u003eof Global Environmental Justice\u003c\/i\u003e illustrates that non\/humans rendered expendable by US-driven drug (necro)politics are indispensable to both the conceptualization and the realization of environmental justice globally. Far from being a study singularly focused on the symptoms of environmental issues, this book creatively guides us toward a broader understanding of environmental racism and justice across geographic scales and non\/human agencies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlexander Huezo\u003c\/b\u003e is Assistant Professor of Global and International Studies at the University of California, Irvine.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"University of California Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51181967737106,"sku":"9780520387935","price":38.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_7b6b5597-841c-4dd2-bef8-e3a8db7c71ae.jpg?v=1744411467","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/visions-of-global-environmental-justice-comunidades-negras-and-the-war-on-drugs-in-colombia-9780520387935","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
