Document Summary
Lecture october 9th 2013 environment, development, and the postcolonial. Did you shit all over everything: we want silly things, the way we exist makes little sense, that wanting has consequences for others. We have exacerbated poverty, inequality, and ecological destruction in the name of development. Reject the idea that we much choose between humans or the enviro; humans or animals. Offered india a huge amount of milk but india was against charity, so they took their stuff and mixes it with current milk products in india in order to boost the industry. Dumping was called charity, charity was called development. Importation of foreign breeds- produced more milk sometimes but weren"t suited for indian enviro. Demise of pastoralists and small peasants, decline of commons, rise of profit imperative and competition. Before this cows had a lot of different purposes- labour, piss, dung, milk.
