Stopping Oil: Climate Justice and Hope: Radical Geography
Autor Sophie Bond, Amanda Thomas, Gradon Diproseen Limba Engleză Paperback – 19 ian 2023
Lessons learned from the powerful climate justice campaign in Aotearoa New Zealand
A cautionary tale how deep-sea oil exploration became politicized in Aotearoa New Zealand, where community groups mobilized against it and the backlash that followed. It is also a story of activists exercising an ethic of care and responsibility, and how that solidarity was masked and silenced by the neoliberal state.
As Aotearoa New Zealand began to pursue deep-sea oil as part of its development agenda, a powerful climate justice campaign emerged, comprising a range of autonomous 'Oil Free' groups around the country, NGOs like Greenpeace, and iwi and hapu (Maori tribal groups). As their influence increased, the state employed different tactics to silence them, starting with media representations designed to delegitimize, followed by securitization and surveillance that controlled their activities, and finally targeted state-sanctioned violence and dehumanization.
By highlighting geographies of hope for radical progressive change, the authors focus on the many examples of the campaign where solidarity and political responsibility shone through the repression, leading us towards a brighter future for climate justice across the globe.

Recenzii
‘Stopping Oil follows the entanglement of racial capitalism, colonialism and western modernity that situates resource extraction in Aotearoa New Zealand. And, crucially, drawing on the authors’ own experiences of direct action and resistance, it also outlines a hopeful ethics of care through which meaningful changes can be achieved.’
Jo Sharp, Professor of Geography, University of St Andrews, Scotland
