The Politics of Nature in the Anthropocene

 
|
 

Nature has entered the political arena and it has become increasingly necessary to respond to ecological crises. McAfee examines the changing roles of scientists and politicians in the decision-making processes that affect the environment. She shows how the concept of the Anthropocene is being used differently: it can narrow approaches to human collectivity, create boundaries between man and nature, and potentially disguise the selective powers that steer human interactions with the environment.
