An Image of Colonial Violence Pulled from the Air
<p><em>An Image of Colonial Violence Pulled from the Air</em>, by the forensic investigation agency INTERPRT, proposes a new lexicon to support research, action and legal advocacy against environmental crime. Derived from more than a decade of applied investigative practice, this lexicon is structured around a series of conceptual, legal and methodological terms. The concepts section sets out the unique evidentiary challenges of representing environmental destruction. The legal terms situate the crime of ecocide and the standing of the environment within international criminal law and political theory. The methods section charts INTERPRT’s technical and computational approaches to their investigative work. Alongside this narrative description of their methodologies, the book includes visual materials from some of their recent investigations, showing these strategies in deployment. <em>An Image of Colonial Violence Pulled from the Air</em> aims not only to document INTERPRT’s efforts, but to provide a working toolkit for other practitioners across the environmental justice movement.</p>
