"Grounded in Indigenous, Black, and Queer experiences and knowledges, Political Ecologies of Futurity takes the reader on a breathtaking journey across plantation lifeworlds and afterlives, exhorting us to live, think, remember, tell stories, and relate beyond the paralyzing frame of apocalyptic narratives. In an age of radical ecological unmaking, it bestows upon us the vital gift of hope and of justice as radical practices of the present, anchored in the collective and political work of reckoning, recognition, and repair amidst haunting pasts and grounded futures. A landmark work."

Sophie Chao, author of In the Shadow of the Palms: More-Than-Human Becomings in West Papua

"This extraordinary collection examines how in diverse geographies around the world, the past haunts the present and the future. Perhaps more importantly, it also pushes beyond that to ask how we might secure more desirable futures. Bringing together a spectacular group of contributors, the volume grounds this study of the future in careful empirical study of specific sites, asking what kinds of futures are desirable, for whom, and how that desirability is contested. The collection will be indispensable for the rapidly growing field of scholars interested in political ecologies of the future."
