Nonhuman Subjects

More about the book

Exploring the intersection of indigenous politics and environmentalism, this work highlights the concept of 'earth-beings'—non-sentient entities like mountains, boulders, and sacred stones that challenge traditional Western ideas of personhood. By examining sites such as the Andes, Standing Rock, and contemporary art, it reveals the subjectivity and rights of nonlife, emphasizing the importance of recognizing the agency of natural elements in social movements and ecological discourse.
