Oil in Stereo: Ancestry Through Infrastructure, an ethnography of oil histories in western Pennsylvania, brings the texture of a family album to the interior dilemmas and sensory technologies of ecological destruction. Populating the abstractions of settler colonialism and hydrocarbon toxicity with the jarring intimacy of a kinship story, this genre experiment reflects on planetary health, questions of “slow violence” and intergenerational responsibility from the grounding of combustible family histories.
