Title
Accumulation: The Material Politics of Plastic - Paperback
by Jennifer Gabrys (Editor), Gay Hawkins (Editor), Mike Michael (Editor)
Plastic has become emblematic of economies of abundance and ecological destruction. If the post-war 'plastics age' was cleaner and brighter than all that preceded it, this boosterism has now become intertwined with anxiety as the burdens of accumulating plastic wastes register in environments and bodies. This innovative book investigates how plastic accumulates functions, concerns, politics, properties and more.
