Abstract
As Pietro Daniel Omodeo observes in this review, "environmental politics cannot be separated from political decision-making." Using the example of the Senegal delta, as explored in Maura Benegiamo's La terra dentro il capitale, Omodeo shows that the neocolonial "Great Expropriation of the global commons" is underway in the Global South, with grim ecological and social consequences for those living in the delta.
正如皮埃特罗-丹尼尔-奥莫德奥在这篇评论中所指出的,"环境政治不能与政治决策相分离"。Omodeo 以 Maura Benegiamo 的《La terra dentro il capitale》一书中探讨的塞内加尔三角洲为例,说明新殖民主义的 "全球公地大征用 "正在全球南部进行,对生活在三角洲的人们造成了严峻的生态和社会后果。
