Loving ourselves the Earth: Undoing the colonial inhabitation, by Malcom Ferdinand

The pesticide contamination of Martinique and Guadeloupe stands among the most severe environmental scandals in contemporary France. The historic use of chlordecone (Kepone) has devastated human and non-human lives alike, while accountability remains absent. Drawing on 15 years of interdisciplinary research and sustained political engagement in the case, Malcom Ferdinand presents a radical narrative that resists official technocratic framings, offering instead a poetic and political proposition for inhabiting the Earth in the ruins of modern colonization.
