Reading group: Reigning the River

In session four, the Religion and Ecology reading group will discuss Anne Rademacher’s Reigning the River: urban ecologies and political transformation in Kathmandu (Duke University Press, 2011).

A powerful story about the multiple actors, visions, and possibilities for action entangled around an exposed riverbed in Nepal, Rademacher’s text invites us to consider the ways in which the political and ecological are always already mutually implicated.
