So chuffed: my book is out!
I explore the history of mine waste in South Africa & resistance to residual governance & environmental degradation. This is also a planetary story.

Book cover of Residual Governance. Image by photographer Potšišo Phasha shows muscular, bent over Black man digging with a pick. The man is an informal miner and an immigrant to South Africa; Phasha doesn't show his face because that would endanger the subject.
