"The ecological crisis is the most overwhelming to have ever faced humanity and its
consequences permeate every domain of life. This trenchant book examines its relation
to Islamophobia as the dominant form of racism today, showing how both share roots
in domination, colonialism and the logics of capitalism. Ghassan Hage proposes that
both racism and humanity's destructive relationship with the environment emanate from
the same mode of inhabiting the world. In this process of domestication, an occupying
force imposes its own interest as law, subordinating others for the extraction of
value, eradicating or exterminating what gets in the way. In connecting these two
issues, Hage gives voice to the claim taking shape in many activist spaces that anti-racist
and ecological struggles are intrinsically related. In each the aim is to move beyond
what makes us see otherness, whether human or non-human, as something that exists
solely to be managed"
