In Available to be Poisoned: Toxicity as a Form of Life, Dipali
Mathur contends that the saturation of the planet with toxic
chemicals is not the "inevitable" price of progress but marks a
deliberate, violent relationship with the Earth and its "others,"
born of colonialism and capitalism's entwined histories. Mathur
offers the innovative concept of "toxicity as a form of life" to
signpost the normalization of toxic exposure. Mathur analyzes how
states use toxicity to control populations on the fringes of our
global political economy. Drawing on three case studies from India,
Mathur shows how exposure to toxicity is weaponized to make certain
populations "available for poisoning."
