emma ↟’s Reviews > As Long as Grass Grows: The Indigenous Fight for Environmental Justice, from Colonization to Standing Rock > Status Update

a timely read.

“[This book] starts from the assumption that colonization was not just a process of invasion and eventual domination of Indigenous populations by European settlers, but also that the eliminatory impulse and structure created in actuality began as environmental injustice. Seen in this light, settler colonialism itself is for Indigenous peoples a structure of environmental injustice.”
