It exerted its power on sites as various as Caribbean research stations, the shipping lanes of the U.S.-occupied Pacific, Palestinian refugee camps, and the internal colonies of segregated nations. At its heart was a new ideology and infrastructure of managing, administering, and rationalizing nature through which Western powers sought to maintain their grip on a decolonizing planet. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003ePoetry from Spaceship Earth\u003c\/i\u003e retrieves a diverse array of postwar American poets--Robert Duncan, June Jordan, Joanne Kyger, Lorine Niedecker, and Charles Olson--who contested and cultivated alternatives to this emergent mode of environmentalism. By placing the major innovations of postwar poetry into conversation with environmental politics, Cold War science and technology studies, and postcolonial and Black studies, Samia Rahimtoola develops an original theoretical and historical account of the racial and colonial logics that underpin the supposedly neutral project of managing nature. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Samia Rahimtoola\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 168597063X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781685970635\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Iowa Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/19\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 266\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs","brand":"Samia Rahimtoola","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48443049181439,"sku":"9781685970635","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_41d711b8-46c2-4278-921a-cb9e827a852e.jpg?v=1777201511","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/poetry-from-spaceship-earth-samia-rahimtoola-9781685970635","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
