This assessment of the field explores a confluence of feminist thinking about the 20th-century Great Acceleration in the United States: post-World-War II projects of modernization made the security of white nuclear families global models of well-being, while banishing the work of their securitization to non-white sacrifice zones—which eventually came to encompass most of the earth. “Anthropocene” is thus a project of makingraceandgenderas much as making capital. The essay continues into feminist arguments for limiting the Anthropocene to maintain spaces of more-than-human livability. We end with work of emerging scholars.
