In her book Petrochemical Planet, Alice Mah delves into the evolving landscape of the petrochemical industry, navigating the formidable challenges posed by climate change and environmental activism. Through extensive research encompassing high-level industry meetings, petrochemical plant tours, and firsthand experiences in polluted communities, Mah juxtaposes the destructive corporate ideologies of the petrochemical industry with the ongoing struggles for environmental justice across the United States, China, and Europe. She argues that amidst mounting public pressures, a profound planetary industrial transformation is underway, challenging the dominant era of plastics and fossil fuels. This transformative shift is driven by what Mah refers to as multiscalar activism, a collective resistance that spans local, regional, national, and planetary sites, addressing the interconnected issues of environmental justice, climate change, pollution, health, extraction, land rights, worker rights, systemic racism, and toxic colonialism.
Reflecting on the barriers and opportunities for critical interventions within the petrochemical industry, Mah provides valuable insights into the potential for resistance and the development of alternative solutions to our reliance on fossil fuels. Her book serves as a timely and essential exploration of the complex dynamics shaping our world, offering a roadmap for navigating the challenges and embracing a more sustainable and equitable future.
