"""Toxic is an emotionally rich, stylistically compelling ethnographic wonder. The graphic style reminds us of the ever-present certainty of oil pollution in the Ecuadorian Amazon. The compelling use of inks and lighting brings the ethnographic findings to the fore, and each section illustrates the complexities, joys, and tragedies of fighting extractivism.""--Ernesto Schwartz-Marin, University of Exeter ""Oil companies have long since moved on, but their legacy--countless pits full of toxic production waste--will continue to contaminate the flora and fauna of the Ecuadorian jungle for decades to come. Amelia Fiske's many years of research and Jonas Fischer's eerily beautiful images impressively portray this often-suppressed problem of oil production.""--Christoph Schuler, Editor of STRAPAZIN"
