Summary:

"When Forests Run Amok is a multispecies ethnography that highlights how warfare and ecological ruination on the Pacific Coast of Colombia (particularly in the Bajo Atrato region of the Chocó department) have affected Afro-Colombian and Indigenous communities. Daniel Ruiz-Serna aims to shift understandings of violence, suffering, and justice out of the frameworks of human rights and of dualisms (i.e. humans and the environment, subjects and objects); and instead, he seeks to highlight the broader webs of human and other-than-human relations that make up what we can understand as "living territories.""-- Provided by publisher.
