The book traces the origins of this narrative back to the arrival of settler capitalism in America, when the understanding of the planet and its people as extractable resources was established. Since then, this narrative has elided the violent history of the climate crisis while at the same time leveraging the military as a bulwark against the crises capitalism has caused, the people it has uprooted, even the ailing planet itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThis is an open access book.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJohan Höglund\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor of English and a member and former director of the Linnaeus University Centre for Concurrences in Colonial and Postcolonial Studies at Linnaeus University, Sweden.
