Table of ContentsReviewsIn a study both haunting and hopeful, Seger traces environmental histories of dioxin contamination in Seveso and Taranto. Her inventive canon of texts includes the industrial giants ICMESA and Ilva, the cities themselves, a fascinating range of novels and films, a cast of dynamic and inspiring activists, and the evolving landscapes in which all of these figures and stories are enfolded. She unpacks the devious persistence of dioxins in bodies of land and bodies of inhabitants, and then follows stories of resistance, solidarity, and hope in a variety of counter-hegemonic narrative interventions. A beautifully crafted and impactful book. --Elena Past, Wayne State University, author of Italian Ecocinema: Beyond the Human Monica Seger guides us through the entangled stories of people, dioxin, and the environment using the embodied narratives of Seveso and Taranto, two highly contaminated places in Italy. A deeply rooted piece of research that speaks to the global 'eco-corporeal crisis' we are all being pulled into. A must-read book to understand the power of storytelling against the oppression of the Wasteocene. --Marco Armiero, KTH Royal Institute of Technology Author InformationMonica Seger is Associate Professor of Italian Studies at William and Mary and author of Landscapes in Between: Environmental Change in Modern Italian Literature and Film.
