Implication

Decolonial geosocial analysis uncovers racial-colonial foundations of contaminated military land conversions in Colorado and Panama, highlighting ongoing cycles of dispossession.

Key Points

Decolonial analysis demonstrates that converting contaminated military sites into brownfields and biodiversity recreation facilities perpetuates ongoing land dispossession.
Examination of base closures in the Colorado Front Range and Panama Canal Zone uses the geosocial spectacle framework to probe material governance and colonial aesthetics.
The framework highlights how Pentagon climate colonialism entrenches a global color line, urging anticolonial land remediation and governance to counter military extraction.
