Placed midway between innocuous celebration and radical critique, Sustainability and Privilege highlights the lessons that can be learned from social designs current limitations and proposes a feasible way to improve this practice.In this broad-ranging account, enlivened by fieldwork and case studies, Gabriel Arboleda contends that social designs invocation of sustainability often serves to marginalize and displace vulnerable populations through projects that involve experimentation of faulty alternative technologies, or that result in so-called green gentrification, or that impose untoward economic and other burdens. Arboleda is fiercely critical of the way social design has been carried out in impoverished regions of the world, most notably in Africa and Latin America.
