DeColonize EcoModernism!: A Reading, Discussion and Book Launch with Dr. Ariel Salleh

Even in the 21st century, the old attitude of terra nullius, meaning a vacant place free for the taking, still hovers behind the global expropriation of peoples' lands and bodies. Today, that theft is rationalised by ecomodernist policy. This book engages with the patriarchal-colonial-capitalist mindset and its threats to Life-on-Earth, including climate change and nuclear risks, mining and the gene trade, the Fourth Industrial Revolution and digital coloniality.

Ariel Salleh is Visiting Professor in Humanities, Nelson Mandela University, South Africa; former Senior Fellow in Post-Growth Societies, Friedrich Schiller University Jena, Germany and Research Associate in Political Economy, University of Sydney, Australia: www.arielsalleh.info
