Employing methodological perspectives from the fields of political geography, environmental studies, anthropology, and their cognate disciplines, this volume explores alternative logics of sentient landscapes as racist, xenophobic, and right-wing. While the field of sentient landscapes has gained critical attention, the literature rarely seems to question the intentionality of sentient landscapes, which are often romanticized as pure, good, and just, and perceived as protectors of those who are powerless, indigenous, and colonized. The book takes a new stance on sentient landscapes with the intention of dispelling the denial of "coevalness" represented by their scholarly romanticization.

Industry Reviews

"Enriched by contributions focused on different regions and blending historiographic, ethnographic and media materials, Co?ofana and Kuran's volume is a much-needed reminder about the troublesome connections linking theories of environmental sentience, landscape representations, and nationalism." * Piergiorgio Di Giminiani, Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile

"This is a timely book that tackles some of the most divisive dynamics contemporary liberal democratic societies across the world are grappling with. It looks at exclusionary, xenophobic, and reactionary ideas and practices by focusing on the ways people engage with their natural surroundings." * Annika Lems, Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology
