This book concerns the elemental geographies and lives and deaths of the drowned to confront enduring forms of oppression. Elaine Stratford documents with penetrating compassion and acumen how human and more-than-human bodies lose personhood in acts of violence, exploitation, marginalisation, cultural imperialism, and powerlessness. This work is both a scholarly and deeply personal call to rethink how we live with, remember, and honour the drowned. It offers profound insights to all those interested in human geography and allied disciplines.
