Kathryn Yusoff's A Billion Black Anthropocenes or None is a short theoretical work in the University of Minnesota Press Forerunners series, situated at the intersection of environmental humanities, critical race studies, feminist Black theory, geography, and earth sciences. The book intervenes in debates about the Anthropocene, the proposed geological epoch in which human activity has become a planetary force. Yusoff argues that common accounts of the Anthropocene often treat humanity as a single, universal agent, while overlooking the racial and colonial histories that made modern extraction, industrialization, and geological knowledge possible. Her purpose is not simply to add race to environmental discussion, but to show that geology, materiality, labor, and colonial violence are already entangled. Through dense conceptual analysis, she reframes the Anthropocene as a racialized formation shaped by slavery, plantations, mining, dispossession, and the production of some populations as less than fully human.
