In Pollution Is Colonialism Max Liboiron presents a framework for
understanding scientific research methods as practices that can
align with or against colonialism. They point out that even when
researchers are working toward benevolent goals, environmental
science and activism are often premised on a colonial worldview and
access to land. Focusing on plastic pollution, the book models an
anticolonial scientific practice aligned with Indigenous,
particularly Metis, concepts of land, ethics, and relations.
Liboiron draws on their work in the Civic Laboratory for
Environmental Action Research (CLEAR)-an anticolonial science
laboratory in Newfoundland, Canada-to illuminate how pollution is
not a symptom of capitalism but a violent enactment of colonial
land relations that claim access to Indigenous land. Liboiron's
creative, lively, and passionate text refuses theories of pollution
that make Indigenous land available for settler and colonial goals.
In this way, their methodology demonstrates that anticolonial
science is not only possible but is currently being practiced in
ways that enact more ethical modes of being in the world.
