ANALYSIS: Scholar’s new book accuses scientists of creating ‘geotrauma’
A British professor of “inhuman geography” links white supremacy to geology and paleontology – or “pale-ontology,” as she refers to it – in a new book published by Duke University Press.
The author of “Geologic life,” Kathryn Yusoff is a professor at Queen Mary University of London, according to her bio. Her work focuses on “historical, geophilosophical and black feminist methods to speak to issues of environmental change.”
In the book, Yusoff makes the argument that “forms of imperial geology embedded in Western and Enlightenment” have created “anti-Black, anti-Indigenous, and anti-Brown environmental and racial injustices,” according to the publisher’s description.
