- This monograph provides an extensive exploration of the philosophical and political underpinnings of anti-GMO activist arguments and practices; aiming to move it beyond the binaries of modern/colonial thought. It does so at three different sites: science, the Bt cotton controversy in India, and global environmental protest. At each site arguments and practices of anti-GMO activists are brought into dialogue with a wide range of thinkers and bodies of thought, such as those of Deleuze, Latour, Lugones, and Spivak together with a broader range of postcolonial and decolonial thought. The book contributes practical proposals, progressing anti-GMO activism in more innovative ways.
