Reviews

Composting Utopia offers a fresh critique of neoliberal waste management and examines the tensions between formal and informal composting as straddling the boundary between neoliberal sustainability and transformative sustainability. - Giovanna Di Chiro, professor of environmental studies at Swarthmore College and coeditor of Appropriating Technology: Vernacular Science and Social Power Schaffer is clearly invested in and hopeful about what community infrastructures can do, but with a critical and analytic eye. Based on sound data and with wonderful insight, Composting Utopia is an important contribution to science and technology studies. - Kim Fortun, author of Advocacy after Bhopal: Environmentalism, Disaster, New Global Orders
