Reviews

“In this compelling book Maron E. Greenleaf disentangles the overwhelmingly complex socio-ecological, political-economic, and interspecies relationships that have resulted in the climate crisis and also must be understood and transformed to combat the crisis. She does this through a brilliant analysis of ‘green capitalism’ and its history, transformative power, failings, and afterlives.”

-- Paige West, Claire Tow Professor of Anthropology, Barnard College and Columbia University

“Maron E. Greenleaf’s key insight that making forest carbon entails a remaking of socio-environmental relations—a complex and open-ended process that presents challenges as well as opportunities—allows her to retheorize the making of value through novel relations, reworkings, and speculations about what’s to come in rural Amazonia. Forest Lost makes a signal contribution to the study of the political ecology of the region while offering explanatory frames that will help illuminate the global proliferation of carbon markets with the care and attention that ethnographic immersion allows.”

-- Jeremy M. Campbell, author of Conjuring Property: Speculation and Environmental Futures in the Brazilian Amazon
