Underflows

"Covering an impressive swath of ground, this book presents insightful and challenging departures in theory and methodology and is a worthwhile read for ecological scientists and social theorists alike."—Dani Slabaugh, LSE Review of Books

"In this impassioned book, Cleo Wölfle Hazard takes seriously how multiple species and human communities co-create knowledge about and management of riverine environments. Examining how the ethical orientations and collaborative methods of queer and trans communities articulate models of ecological resurgence and belonging, Wölfle Hazard asks readers to engage with the underflows—submerged knowledges of and resistances to environmental destruction—that will be vital for creating forms of living together that break with the inequalities and violences of colonial settlement and capitalist property relations. In the process, Wölfle Hazard offers a radical vision for more responsible practices of environmental science and conservation that are attentive to frontline communities and to the phenomenal worlds of rivers, beavers, salmon, and other life forms affected by the current crises."—Neel Ahuja, author of Planetary Specters: Race, Migration, and Climate Change in the Twenty-First Century

"A remarkable contribution to queer, trans, feminist, anti-colonial and anti-racist political thought and practice. We need Cleo Wölfle Hazard's work so badly right now, as the climate crisis transforms all our capacities to imagine and cultivate freedom, as we encounter the ongoing co-optation of our resistance methods, and as we humbly search contemporary and historical collective practices for ways to survive and transform these contradictions."—Dean Spade, author of Normal Life: Administrative Violence, Critical Trans Politics, and the Limits of Law
