In the last three decades, scholars have increasingly turned their attention to power aspects of natural and environmental destruction. As the growing field of research under the label of green criminology suggests, analyses of power relations of both material and discursive nature may provide a better understanding of how and why environmental crime and destruction occur. Until now, however, the bulk of the scholarship has focused on the Global North. Our understanding, and thus, our theoretical framework, has been shaped by this simple fact since the inception of the discipline. By dedicating a volume to a regional context of the Global South and outside the Anglo-American linguistic sphere, the editors of Environmental Crime in Latin America: The Theft of Nature and the Poisoning of the Land hope to broaden green criminology into a truly global discipline. Through the three different parts of the volume, the contributors explore how both people, non-human animals and the environment itself is affected by human exercise of power. Although the editors—Avi Brisman, David Rodríguez Goyes, Hanneke Mol and Nigel South—in the introductory chapter suggest that an actor-based approach is the basis of the volume (p. 2), many of the contributors combine examination of actors’ roles with in-depth analyses of hegemonic systems of production, in which power structures of both past and present are often vital to the understanding of the cases.
