Ashley Dawson joins This is Hell! to discuss their new book, "Decolonize Conservation: Global Voices for Indigenous Self-Determination, Land, and a World in Common," co-edited with Fiore Longo and Survival International Ashley Dawson is currently Professor of Postcolonial Studies in the English Department at the Graduate Center, City University of New York (CUNY), and at the College of Staten Island/CUNY. He currently works in the fields of environmental humanities and postcolonial ecocriticism.
In this episode of Speaking Out of Place we talk with Ashley Dawson about his new co-edited book, Decolonize Conservation: Global Voices for Indigenous Self-Determination, Land, and a World in Common, an anthology of essays by Indigenous activists from the Global South arguing against “fortress conservation” and “protected areas” whose existence is predicated on displacing indigenous peoples, and false claims about the expected benefits of such violence. They argue: It's not all humans who are destroying “nature”; it's one particular way of life and ideology. In reality, we are part of nature and must stop pretending we are separate. This is a human crisis and not only a climate or environmental one. Protecting nature must come to be seen as a vital aspect of this wider issue—how to live and create a world in which a healthy and decent life.”This episode is part of a new collaboration between Speaking Out of Place and The Creative Process, a Paris-based project that brings issues of art, culture, and politics to a world audience. We are excited by this partnership, and grateful to The Creative Process for producing this episode and sharing it through its global channels.Ashley Dawson is Professor of English at the Graduate Center / City University of New York and the College of Staten Island. Recently published books of his focus on key topics in the Environmental Humanities, and include People's Power: Reclaiming the Energy Commons (O/R, 2020), Extreme Cities: The Peril and Promise of Urban Life in the Age of Climate Change (Verso, 2017), and Extinction: A Radical History (O/R, 2016). Dawson is the author of a forthcoming book entitled Environmentalism from Below (Haymarket) and the co-editor of Decolonize Conservation! (Common Notions, 2023).

(Common Notions, 2023). “The message is that indigenous sovereignty is connected to the preservation of biodiversity. And right now the statistics are really shocking on so-called protected areas, which currently constitute 17% of the planet. And the goal coming out of that Montreal conference for the biodiversity crisis last autumn is to roughly double that amount of protected areas, right? So the slogan was 30 by 30. 30% of the planet in protected area status by 2030. So we're really talking about massive expansion of protected areas. But within protected areas themselves, according to recent reports, only about 1% of the land actually has indigenous sovereignty. There are other arrangements like co-management, for instance, or indigenous people who are kind of encouraged to see their claims to conservation organizations with the guarantee that it will be protected and they'll have access of some kind. But, you know, as some of the indigenous activists who appeared at this conference and who are in the Decolonize Conservation! book said, they don't like the idea of co-management because it's essentially colonialism. They want control of their land.”https://ashleydawson.info www.haymarketbooks.org/books/2101-environmentalism-from-below#:~:text=Environmentalism%20from%20Below%20takes%20readers,fight%20to%20protect%20imperiled%20worlds https://viacampesina.org/en/ www.shackdwellersnamibia.comwww.palumbo-liu.com https://twitter.com/palumboliu?s=20

They want control of their land.”https://ashleydawson.info www.haymarketbooks.org/books/2101-environmentalism-from-below#:~:text=Environmentalism%20from%20Below%20takes%20readers,fight%20to%20protect%20imperiled%20worlds https://viacampesina.org/en/ www.shackdwellersnamibia.comwww.palumbo-liu.com https://twitter.com/palumboliu?s=20

In today's episode we talk with author, professor, and activist Ashley Dawson about the neoliberal city in the context of climate change and the liberatory potential inherent in community solar energy projects. The first half of the episode follows our guest's book, Extreme Cities. The discussion starts from observations on the usual scale of reporting and perception of climate change – global or national, but not the urban scale. We talk about how large climate projects are often designed with planned obsolescence in mind, and first of all serve the interests of the elites; about the unequal impact of climate change and how communities often respond through what Ashely calls disaster communism; and about community solar energy as an example of such a collective (preventive in this case) response in the face of crisis. The second half of the ep. is based on Ashley's book, People's Power, and makes a case for community managed solar energy projects as a progressive tool through which to tackle the issue of energy poverty and the looming climate apocalypse. The topics that we cover include the solar commons as an analytical and discursive tool, issues of accessibility (financial, technological etc) surrounding solar projects, and reflections on how the state fits into the picture. ===== Re(Sources) Vlad Zaha: yt: @vladzaha806 fb: vlad.g.zaha ig: zaha.vlad Ashley Dawson https://ashleydawson.info/ Ashley Dawson, Extreme Cities: Climate Chaos and the Urban Future, Verso Books (2016). https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/28952797-extreme-cities Ashley Dawson, People's Power: Reclaiming the Energy Commons, OR Books (2020). https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/52636876-people-power People's power discussion series https://youtu.be/zIRen05iYSk https://youtu.be/r1T5rzf1ndc https://youtu.be/8uFujxQ-PJ0 https://youtu.be/tVwUw3H-6VE Public Power New York https://publicpowerny.org/ Community Renewables Podcast https://soundcloud.com/user-528766714 Thea Riofrancos, Resource Radicals: From Petro-Nationalism to Post-Extractivism in Ecuador, Duke University Press (2020). https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/51897844-resource-radicals Michael Hardt & Antonio Negri, Commonwealth, Belknap Press (2009). https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6384328-commonwealth Pierre Dardot & Christian Laval, Common: On Revolution in the 21st Century, Bloomsbury Academic Press (2019). https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/44175765-common After Oil Collective (AOC) https://afteroil.ca/ AOC, Solarities: Seeking Energy Justice, Univ of Minnesota Press (2022) https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/60615208-solarities Rob Nixon, Slow Violence and the Environmentalism of the Poor, Harvard University Press (2011). https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10429440-slow-violence-and-the-environmentalism-of-the-poor Christoph Rupprecht (Ed.), Deborah Cleland (Ed.), Norie Tamura (Ed.), Rajat Chaudhuri (Ed.), Sarena Ulibarri (Ed.), Multispecies Cities: Solarpunk Urban Futures, World Weaver Press (2021). https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/56906532-multispecies-cities Artwork by Alis Balogh Music: The Sound by Adelaide https://open.spotify.com/artist/5JrWus8N8CfANNXBNDMAfK ig: @_adelaide_band_ sotb podcast: https://www.seasonoftheb.com/

On this episode, I sit with Sneakerhead/Sneaker Enthusiast , Ashley Dawson (solesandpearls_) to have a conversation about all things sneaker. We discuss everything from what is a "sneakerhead," to how the "sneakerhead" and sneaker community, as a whole, have evolved over time and we even shared our craziest/wildest sneaker stories. My hopes for this episode is for sneakerheads that share the same feelings as we do to know that they are not alone and for future sneakerheads to know that it isn't easy out here being a sneakerhead! LolAshley was featured on Nice Kicks' "Small Town Sneakerhead," a mini-series highlighting the unique grind of being a sneaker collector and aficionado from the secluded pockets of America off the beaten path.

“The political struggle is really hard today and I feel like we haven't been winning, but I think it's important not to think of this as either we win it, or there's catastrophe and that's the end. We win or lose, and there's this big tidal wave that kills us all. That's not the way the climate crisis is going to play out. It's going to be a long, slow, attritional crisis punctuated by forms of natural disaster that will decimate populations, but it's also going to be something that people will be impacted by for generations and that people will continue to mobilize around, so I think it's important to keep that in mind.”Ashley Dawson is currently Professor of Postcolonial Studies in the English Department at the Graduate Center, City University of New York (CUNY), and at the College of Staten Island/CUNY. He currently works in the fields of environmental humanities and postcolonial ecocriticism. He is the author of three recent books relating to these fields: People's Power (O/R, 2020), Extreme Cities (Verso, 2017) and Extinction (O/R, 2016). Other areas of interest of his include the experience and literature of migration, including movement from colonial and postcolonial nations to the former imperial center (Britain in particular), and from rural areas to mega-cities of the global South such as Lagos and Mumbai. · ashleydawson.info · www.centerforthehumanities.org/programming/climate-action-lab · www.oneplanetpodcast.org · www.creativeprocess.info
