Description
Hannah Holleman delves into the haunting legacy of the Dust Bowl, an environmental catastrophe that reshaped American agriculture and society. Through her incisive analysis, she explores how imperialist practices and industrialization contributed to ecological devastation, suggesting that the lessons from this historical crisis resonate powerfully in today's discussions on environmental politics and sustainability.
Her work challenges conventional notions of "green" capitalism, critiquing the idea that market solutions alone can address complex environmental issues. By drawing parallels between past injustices and contemporary struggles, Holleman advocates for a more equitable and holistic approach to environmentalism that recognizes the intertwined fates of people and the planet.
