In Between Gaia and Ground Elizabeth A. Povinelli theorizes the
climatic, environmental, viral, and social catastrophe present as
an ancestral catastrophe through which that Indigenous and
colonized peoples have been suffering for centuries. In this way,
the violence and philosophies the West relies on now threaten the
West itself. Engaging with the work of Glissant, Deleuze and
Guattari, Cesaire, and Arendt, Povinelli highlights four axioms of
existence-the entanglement of existence, the unequal distribution
of power, the collapse of the event as essential to political
thought, and the legacies of racial and colonial histories. She
traces these axioms' inspiration in anticolonial struggles against
the dispossession and extraction that have ruined the lived
conditions for many on the planet. By examining the dynamic and
unfolding forms of late liberal violence, Povinelli attends to a
vital set of questions about changing environmental conditions, the
legacies of violence, and the limits of inherited Western social
theory. Between Gaia and Ground also includes a glossary of the
keywords and concepts that Povinelli has developed throughout her
work.
