"With deep erudition and empathy, Sarah E. Vaughn illuminates the visions of society inherent to climate adaptation policy. She skillfully uncovers the stakes of this new world for us with a meticulous case study of the politics and technoscience of climate change in Guyana. Dynamic ways of living and being–the social infrastructure of climate adaptation–are revealed to be as critical as the structural projects and economic plans that undergird them. A highly original and major contribution that compels a reconsideration of environmental justice frameworks and that manifests the bold green shoots of renewed social theory."–Alondra Nelson, Harold F. Linder Professor, Institute for Advanced Study
