Canada's Waste Flows
«
"Canada's Waste Flows generatively redirects the reader's vision away from urban recycling and domestic waste towards the larger problems of waste contamination generated by settler colonialism, neoliberal government, and resource extraction in the Canadian North. Rigorously researched and tightly theorized, Myra Hird's compelling book demonstrates how waste is much more than a technical challenge for specialists: waste has become a pervasive geological stratum, an index of the Anthropocene, which poses urgent challenges for social thought and political action in Canada and beyond." Andrew Barry, University College London

"Canada's Waste Flows is one of the first attempts not just to discuss the challenges posed by waste in a municipal or national framework, but to connect these municipal and national politics to global events. Hird examines Canada's waste problems and their colonial legacies in a detailed and holistic way. A fascinating read." Sabrina Peric, University of Calgary
