Chloe Ahmann's "Futures After Progress" explores the intricate relationship between environment and urban development in South Baltimore, a region heavily affected by pollution and industrialization. Through a combination of ethnographic study and meticulous research, Ahmann highlights the environment's role in shaping the socio-political landscape over 200 years. The book argues that the ongoing struggles against environmental degradation inform the residents' perceptions of their futures. It serves as a critical resource for understanding how urban spaces influence human experiences, particularly in contexts plagued by industrial legacies and ecological concerns.
"Ahmann's book provides a unique perspective by focusing on non-human facets, which enriches the understanding of South Baltimore's environment and its impact on the community."
"By examining over 200 years of history, Ahmann reveals how South Baltimore not only shaped its local identity but also influenced futures across the United States."
