A BILLION BLACK ANTHROPOCENES OR NONE

No geology is neutral, writes Kathryn Yusoff. Tracing the color line of the Anthropocene, A Billion Black Anthropocenes or None exam ines how the grammar of geology is foundational to establishing the extractive economies of subjective life and the earth under colo nialism and slavery. Yusoff initiates a transdisciplinary conversation between black feminist theory, geography, and the earth scien ces, addressing the politics of the Anthropocene within the context of race, materiality, deep time, and the afterlives of geology.
