Entranced Earth offers aesthetics as a way of thinking and enacting an ethics and a politics in the inmundo--the unworlding already here. Guiding us deep into not just the violence of extraction but also the modes of survival palpable in the thick, heavy, weighted, and densely implicated and contaminated enmeshment of life in the unworld, Andermann shows us how not to rush for the fantasy of exit. This is the magisterial classic the environmental humanities as re-envisioned from the perspective of the Global South deserves.” - Jill H.

At the same time, he explores innovative, resilient modes of allyship forged between diverse actors through their shared experiences of destruction.
