| Description: |
This book focuses on the political discourse surrounding the proposed extraction of oil from the Athabasca tar sands in Alberta, Canada, tracing how language and visual representations are used to reinforce or challenge the legitimacy of oil extraction there. |
| Synopsis: |
Human history has often been described as a progressive relinquishment from environmental constraints. Now, it seems, we have come full circle. The ecological irrationalities associated with industrial societies have a lengthy history, and our purpose in the proposed book is not to catalogue this litany of wrongs. Rather, this book is about political responses to global environmental crisis at a crucial turning point in history, by focusing on the political discourses surrounding the tar sands in Alberta, Canada. |
