Racism and Inequity in Postwar Minneapolis David Hugill
UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA PRESS
UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA PRESS
Colonial rela�ons are o�en excluded from discussions of urban poli�cs and are viewed instead as part of a regre�able past. In Se�ler Colonial City, David Hugill confronts this culture of organized forge�ng by arguing that Minnesota’s largest city is enduringly bound up with the power dynamics of se�ler-colonial poli�cs.
The first edited collec�on to chart the poli�cal, conceptual, and ethical consequences of how the underexplored problem of the nega�ve might be posed for contemporary cultural geography. These chapters consider how the nega�ve, through annihila�ons, gaps, ruptures, and tears, can work within or against the terms of affirma�onism.

Discovering the Highlands of Poland and Ukraine Patrice M. Dabrowski
Contested Geographies of Food, Ethnicity, and Gentrification Pascale Joassart-Marcelli
UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON PRESS
Pascale Joassart-Marcelli traces the transforma�on of three San Diego neighborhoods whose foodscapes are shi�ing from serving the needs of long�me minori�zed residents to pleasing the tastes of wealthier and whiter newcomers. His fieldwork sheds light on the emo�onal, cultural, economic, and physical displacement caused by gentrifica�on.
CORNELL UNIVERSITY PRESS
Dabrowski narrates how three highland ranges of the mountain system found in present-day Poland, Slovakia, and Ukraine were discovered for a broader regional public. This is a story of how the Tatras, Eastern Carpathians, and Bieszczady Mountains went from being terra incognita to becoming the popular tourist des�na�ons they are today. 1

Tells the story of how the world’s na�onal parks came to be, with Frederick Law Olmsted’s insights and energy serving to link three American jewels: Yosemite Na�onal Park, Yellowstone Na�onal Park, and Niagara Falls State Park.
Leading scholars of migra�on provide a truly global look at the dilemmas of migra�on governance: Will migra�on be destabilizing, or will it lead to greater openness and human development? The answer depends on the capacity of states to manage migra�on, especially their willingness to respect migrants’ rights.

Laura A. Ogden considers a wide range of people, animals, and objects together as a way to catalog the ways environmental change and colonial history are entangled in the Fuegian Archipelago of southernmost Chile and Argen�na.
Hilda Lloréns weaves together autobiography, ethnography, interviews, memories, and fieldwork to recast narra�ves that con�nuously erase Black Puerto Rican women as agents of social change. Lloréns serves as an “ethnographer of home” as she brings to life the powerful histories and tes�monies of a marginalized, disavowed community.

Sichuan is home to many cave temples with monumental sculptures, the result of local inhabitants’ centuries-long tradi�on of crea�vely using their natural resources. This far-ranging study shows that the temples’ con�nued presence is a reminder of the urgency to preserve culture as part of today’s response to climate change.
Bringing together media studies and environmental humani�es, the contributors to Satura�on develop satura�on as a heuris�c to analyze phenomena in which the elements involved are difficult or impossible to separate as a way of exploring the rela�onship between media, the environment, technology, capital, and the legacies of colonialism.

Is sustainability a hopelessly vague word, with meager purpose aside from a feel-good appeal to the consumer? In The Three Sustainabili�es, Allan Stoekl seeks to (re)valorize the word, for a simple reason: it is useful. Sustainability designates objects in �me, their birth or genesis, their consistency, their survival, their demise.
An environmental history of Southern California’s Salton Sea, the state’s largest inland body of water, and the complex poli�cs of environmental and human health in the West. Voyles provides an innova�ve explora�on of the Salton Sea, looking to the ways the sea, its origins, and its role in human life have been vital to the people who call this region home.
