Energy Systems and Aeolian Imaginaries in Western Sahara
Description
Contributes to a fairer energy horizon by illuminating the role of imaginaries--how we understand energy sources such as wind and the meanings we attach to wind--in determining the wider politics, whether oppressive or just, associated with energy systems. Shows the potential offered by nomadic, Indigenous wind imaginaries for a fairer future. Acknowledgements Introduction 1.
