In Landscapes of Power Dana E. Powell examines the rise and fall of
the controversial Desert Rock Power Plant initiative in New Mexico
to trace the political conflicts surrounding native sovereignty and
contemporary energy development on Navajo (Dine) Nation land.
Powell's historical and ethnographic account shows how the
coal-fired power plant project's defeat provided the basis for
redefining the legacies of colonialism, mineral extraction, and
environmentalism. Examining the labor of activists, artists,
politicians, elders, technicians, and others, Powell emphasizes the
generative potential of Navajo resistance to articulate a vision of
autonomy in the face of twenty-first-century colonial conditions.
Ultimately, Powell situates local Navajo struggles over energy
technology and infrastructure within broader sociocultural life,
debates over global climate change, and tribal, federal, and global
politics of extraction.
