A Future History of Water

A Future History of Water is a thought-provoking book that explores the complex intersection of water access, human rights, and commodification. Through ethnographic research in Costa Rica and Brazil, the author uncovers the behind-the-scenes work that goes into making water a human right rather than a commodity. She argues that the way we frame the future of water is crucial to how we approach its management. With fascinating examples of legal and technological devices, this book challenges readers to think beyond traditional notions of human rights and consider the fluidity of water as a factor in our analyses.
