- Summary:
- Can the stories of bananas, whales, sea birds, and otters teach us to reconsider the seaport as a place of ecological violence, tied to oil, capital, and trade? In this compelling interdisciplinary investigation, Christina Dunbar-Hester explores the complex relationships among commerce, empire, environment, and the nonhuman life forms of San Pedro Bay over the last fifty years - a period coinciding with the era of modern environmental regulation in the United States.
