Zusammenfassung:	Canada’s Waste Flows -- Southern Canada’s Waste Management Problem -- Looking for Redemption in All the Wrong Places: Hiding Our Waste and the Cult of Recycling -- Canadian Settler Colonial Waste -- Arctic Wasteland -- Wasting Animals -- A Good Soup -- Wasting (in) the Anthropocene -- The Indeterminate Material Politics of Waste "From shipments of Canadian waste rotting in developing countries to overflowing landfills and ineffective recycling programs, Canada is facing a waste crisis. Canadians are becoming increasingly aware that waste is an acute environmental and human health issue--and a complex one, the solutions to which are often contradictory. Canada’s Waste Flows is an honest look at the production and movement of Canadian waste, from region to region and across the globe, and its consequences. Through a series of timely empirical case studies, the book reveals waste as less of a technological problem and more of a material, economic, political, historical, and cultural concern. Canada’s Waste Flows demonstrates that Canadians are misdirecting their attention to post-consumer waste and their responsibility for minimizing it through recycling; waste must be understood as a social justice issue, and in particular as a symptom of ongoing settler colonialism. Through a comparative study of waste management in southern and northern Canadian communities, Myra Hird argues that we will only resolve our waste crisis through democratic engagement. A critical and compelling book that will generate conversation and incite change, Canada’s Waste Flows uncovers how Canada’s role as a global leader in waste production and export is key to changing Canada’s waste future."--
