Mini-interview with author of FEEDING THE WORLD AS IF PEOPLE MATTERED Andrew Flachs. uapress.arizona.edu/2026/05/five-questions-with-andrew-flachs
Q: How do historical plantation logics still show up in modern agriculture and rural communities today?
A: Plantations and factories create ecologies and economies that externalize social reproduction: the work of recreating our world. By paying for as little of that work as possible, a very small number of powerful people learned to create big profits for themselves. In turn, this economy produced an ecology that was hostile to any life that cannot be commodified. In the colonial capitalism that emerged from Europe after the 1400s, nature in the colonies existed to be captured, controlled, commodified, and sent back to the industrial core.

What does it mean when migrant deaths at the border are classified as accidents, rather than the predictable result of deliberate policy?
In our latest Q&A, human rights archaeologist and Arizona native Gabriella Soto discusses her new book Border Afterlives: Migrant Deaths, Forensic Investigations, and the Politics of Haunting. Soto traces how U.S. deterrence-based border enforcement has funneled migrants into deadly terrain since the 1990s, how a fragmented and underfunded forensic system leaves many families without answers, and why she argues these deaths are more accurately understood as homicides than accidents. “The American public has a responsibility of care for the people who die as a product of our policies,” she says.
