Notes

1 “Today, one of the innumerable minor privileges of American whiteness is the freedom to appreciate trees as just trees: anodyne features, ahistorical objects” (Farmer Citation2019, 815).

2 Montgomery’s (Citation2016, Citation2020) work reminds us to attend to (green) minoritization as well as (green) gentrification. Greening projects such as community gardens can become part of “a patronizing plan for uneven development that treats the black urban poor as children who can choose seed packets but cannot decide their future” (Montgomery Citation2016, 15). This is paternalism that advances racial domination and political disempowerment.

3 For example, as habitat for increasing vector-borne diseases such as West Nile and Lyme—the increase of which can be understood as a product of both neoliberal urbanization and climate change, a kind of urbanized nature though a very different social imaginary (Kaup Citation2018).
