Pollution is Colonialism

"Pollution Is Colonialism" by Max Liboiron explores how scientific research practices can either reinforce or challenge colonialism, particularly through the lens of plastic pollution. Drawing from their work at the Civic Laboratory for Environmental Action Research, the author presents an anticolonial approach rooted in Indigenous concepts of land and ethics. The book advocates for engaging with pollution as a form of colonial violence and showcases how anticolonial science can promote more ethical relationships with the land.
