Oh man, do I have some books for you. I haven’t forgotten about you. I defend my thesis next week so my brain is crazy rn, but I have your message pinned. In the meantime, find Seeing Like A State by James Scott. Then if you
Iike that one, check out his other one called Against the Grain. One of my besties does the biochem side of things and I am the mapper, computer person.
No worries at all! I like Scott’s work a lot. Weapons of The Weak is one of the books that got me into peasant studies and changed my whole urbanism outlook.
Oh hell yes. :) He just came out with a new one about Rivers too. His outlook, well that’s the thing we joke about having any type of anthropology in your background, it’s like having secret power levels. Perspective is everything, especially in geographical contexts.
