In The Extractive Zone Macarena GmezBarris traces the political, aesthetic, and performative practices that emerge in opposition to the ruinous effects of extractive capital. The work of Indigenous activists, intellectuals, and artists in spaces GmezBarris labels extractive zonesmajority indigenous regions in South America noted for their biodiversity and long history of exploitative natural resource extractionresist and refuse the terms of racial capital and the continued legacies of colonialism. Extending decolonial theory with race, sexuality, and critical Indigenous studies, GmezBarris develops new vocabularies for alternative forms of social and political life. She shows how from Colombia to southern Chile artists like filmmaker Huichaqueo Perez and visual artist Carolina Caycedo formulate decolonial aesthetics. She also examines the decolonizing politics of a Bolivian anarchofeminist collective and a coalition in eastern Ecuador that protects the region from oil drilling. In so doing, GmezBarris reveals the continued presence of colonial logics and locates emergent modes of living beyond the boundaries of destructive extractive capital.
