Rivers host vibrant multispecies communities in their waters and
along their banks, and, according to queer-trans-feminist river
scientist Cleo Woelfle Hazard, their future vitality requires
centering the values of justice, sovereignty, and dynamism. At the
intersection of river sciences, queer and trans theory, and
environmental justice, Underflows explores river cultures and
politics at five sites of water conflict and restoration in
California, Oregon, and Washington. Incorporating work with salmon,
beaver, and floodplain recovery projects, Woelfle Hazard weaves
narratives about innovative field research practices with an
affectively oriented queer and trans focus on love and grief for
rivers and fish. Drawing on the idea of underflows-the parts of a
river's flow that can't be seen, the underground currents that seep
through soil or rise from aquifers through cracks in
bedrock-Woelfle Hazard elucidates the underflows in river cultures,
sciences, and politics where Native nations and marginalized
communities fight to protect rivers. The result is a deeply moving
account of why rivers matter for queer and trans life, offering
critical insights that point to innovative ways of doing science
that disrupt settler colonialism and new visions for justice in
river governance.
