Loss and Wonder at the World's End

Meer over het boek

Environmental change is intricately linked to colonial history in the Fuegian Archipelago, as explored through the interactions of various species and human impacts. The book highlights the consequences of algal blooms, retreating glaciers, and extractive industries on local ecosystems. Ogden documents both loss—of territory, language, and life—and moments of resilience amidst devastation. Drawing from ethnographic research, archival materials, and natural history, it presents a nuanced view of how imperialism shapes environmental realities and the ongoing struggle for sovereignty.
