The idea of the frontier is contested: a border, a terra nullius, a site of struggle. In our second Issue, our writers approach the idea of frontiers in the climate crisis from many perspectives, sending reports from the frontlines of extractive industries, exploring new avenues of risk and resistance, and showing, in the words of contributor Thea Riofrancos, how frontiers are “never exhausted by the economic and political imperatives that designate them as such. They exceed them.”
