Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Austin Zeiderman unearths how the fraught past and future of Colombia’s Magdalena River articulate the mirrored hierarchies of race and environment to explore global entanglements of race, nature, and capital.
MoreLong description:
The Magdalena River, linking Colombia’s Andean interior and Caribbean coast, has long served as a conduit for the expansion of colonial and racial capitalism in the Americas. Now a state-backed megaproject seeks to transform the waterway into a logistics corridor. In Artery, Austin Zeiderman relates the Magdalena’s fraught past and uncertain future to global entanglements of race, nature, and capital. Refusing disciplinary parochialism, Zeiderman engages with debates across the social sciences and humanities to examine how racial orders shape ecologies and infrastructures, thereby upholding exploitative relations not only among human populations, but also between people and the planet. Alert to ethnographic specificity and broad relevance, Zeiderman positions the Magdalena River within regimes of extractivism and inequality that continue to afflict the modern world.
“Through lucid ethnography along Colombia’s Magdalena River, Austin Zeiderman shows how attempts to forge a fluvial ‘logistics corridor’ revive and sustain racial and spatial difference. With deep sensitivity to the human and nonhuman life that traverses these terraqueous environs, Zeiderman offers a deft critique of the fetishisms of logistics and of governable supply chains and their smooth flow, revealing logistics to be aleatory and extremely lucrative, unpredictable and deeply contradictory.”
