A Billion Black Anthropocenes or None by Kathryn Yusoff

Essential, if dense— frankly I find it bogs itself down with its repetition. I think much of the book could be cut down without losing the scope or impact, and filled in with some of what I found to be lacking: a more specific and incisive analysis/critique of the modern geological community, beyond the idea of declaring an Anthropocene. But its conceptualization of the geologic as inextricable from slavery and antiblackness is essential and insightful. And very relevant to my thesis as I begin exploring the idea of “origin stories.”
