Capitalism, Colonisation and the Ecocide-Genocide Nexus

This timely publication examines the drivers of the ecologically induced genocide of Indigenous and place-based peoples in the former British colonies of Kenya and Australia. It synthesises radical political ecology with a political-economic approach to illuminate the nexus between the genocidal and ecocidal properties of the capitalist global system and how this intersects with post-colonial structures. Drawing on original interviews from groups that have suffered these social harms, the book enriches our knowledge of the eco-genocidal nature of colonisation.
