In The Extractive Zone Macarena Gomez-Barris traces the political,
aesthetic, and performative practices that emerge in opposition to
the ruinous effects of extractive capital. The work of Indigenous
activists, intellectuals, and artists in spaces Gomez-Barris labels
extractive zones-majority indigenous regions in South America noted
for their biodiversity and long history of exploitative natural
resource extraction-resist and refuse the terms of racial capital
and the continued legacies of colonialism. Extending decolonial
theory with race, sexuality, and critical Indigenous studies,
Gomez-Barris develops new vocabularies for alternative forms of
social and political life. She shows how from Colombia to southern
Chile artists like filmmaker Huichaqueo Perez and visual artist
Carolina Caycedo formulate decolonial aesthetics. She also examines
the decolonizing politics of a Bolivian anarcho-feminist collective
and a coalition in eastern Ecuador that protects the region from
oil drilling. In so doing, Gomez-Barris reveals the continued
presence of colonial logics and locates emergent modes of living
beyond the boundaries of destructive extractive capital.
