hi fatehbaz, do you have a tag for recommended books? i remember seeing a few posts with your top picks from various subjects but now cannot find them
hello. sorry, i don't really tag things. but i've put together several compilation posts for reading recommendations involving imperial ecology; environmental history of colonization; ruins, haunting, and eerie/uncanny ecology; human-landscape relationships; relationships with other-than-human creatures; decolonizing environments; and my favorite authors; etc.
here's a compilation post which includes links to original stuff i've written about these topics and also a list of my favorite scholars/writers with info about their focus/specialties.
i've said this before, but i spend much more time reading essays and articles than i do reading full-length books. that linked compilation post lists some of my favorite "essential" writers:
Lizabeth Paravisini-Gebert; Elizabeth DeLoughrey; Anna Tsing; Paulo Tavares; Anna Boswell; Achille Mbembe; Hugo Reinert; Frantz Fanon; Tim Edensor; Robin Wall Kimmerer; Ann Laura Stoler; Kyle Whyte; Audra Simpson; Kathryn Yusoff; Ikyo Day; Pedro Neves Marques
here's a compilation post which includes links to short excerpts (in the form of tunglr-dot-com posts) from all of these authors.
if those essays and articles aren't what you're into, and you'd rather have long-form books, then here are the two posts about my "favorite books" which you might've been thinking of: round 1 and round 2.
and here's a look at the books that i mention:
