lake demolition

The image shows the demolition of a mill that has been present for a long time in the region. The ethnographer argues that the image shows the loss of a building which represents the industrial past. Told through the story of her own experience of the past, the ethnographer argues that the temporalities of the industrialization are tied to other stories of immigration, toxicity and even suggests that there are personal lived experiences that don't define the industrial past primarily as a toxic one. I am curious about what she says about the demolition as a nod to the future.
