Paromita Patranobish writes in her review for the Journal of Ecohumanism: “The “justice-attentive aesthetic research practices” (p. 5) in Bloom’s book(chapters 4 and 5 co-written with Elena Glasberg) respond to the violence of visual foreclosure by foregrounding new ways of imagining contested spaces, highlighting industrial capitalist deployments of polar topographies that remain absent from representational parlance, and creating unconventional juxtapositions, continuities, and collaborations.”
