"The duograph is an interesting and novel way to approach collaborative writing, which I enjoyed engaging with. . . . Energopolitics elegantly brings together political theory and ethnography." — Anna G. Sveinsdóttir, Journal of Latin American Geography
“Any serious discussion of politics in the Anthropocene must account for the relationship between energy and power. Dominic Boyer's rich ethnography of wind power development in southern Mexico does foundational work in precisely this, not only offering a fine-grained description of the complex and conflicted local politics of renewable energy transformation on the Isthmus of Tehuantepec but also articulating a new conceptual framework for making sense of power. Energopolitics is chastening, revelatory, and essential.” — Roy Scranton, author of We’re Doomed. Now What? Essays on War and Climate Change

We will begin discussing our takes on the book by informally addressing this set of shared questions. We will dive into implications for policy and discussions of energy in a COVID-19 world and how it can inform the Energy in COVID-19 project.
