The Entangled Nature of Work
A survey of recent works of labor and environment reveal the centrality of hybridity to analyses of human and nonhuman natures. These are most apparent in analyses of labor, technology, and nature. While ways of knowing nature amongst the powerful have been oriented toward the ever-greater domination of workers and nonhuman nature, interspecies entanglements and solidarity erupt through the marginal, overlooked spaces. Taken together, the books i…
Saving Nature under Socialism
In memories of the Cold War, the German Democratic Republic's (GDR) horrific environmental record casts a long shadow. According to popular memory, the East German regime cared little for the environment and its people, poisoning the water, air, and land in pursuit of “real, existing socialism.” Thirty years after the collapse, its reputation as an “ecocidal” regime endures. This story is at best incomplete and at worst misleading. Much of it is …

Industrialized collective farms (LPGs) dumped fertilizers into East Germany’s waterways, contaminating over 80% of them. And as the trees and lakes of the GDR declined, so too did the health of East Germans. Based on this record alone, it would appear that …
