In Available to Be Poisoned: Toxicity as a Form of Life, Dipali Mathur contends that the saturation of the planet with toxic chemicals marks a deliberate and violent relationship with the Earth and its "others," born of colonialism and capitalism’s entwined histories. Mathur offers the concept of "toxicity as a form of life" to signpost the normalization of toxic exposure and analyzes how states use toxicity to control populations on the fringes of our global political economy by making them available to be poisoned.

Available to Be Poisoned is an extraordinary book about how toxicity is an ordinary fact of life for people everywhere in the world today due to the pervasive distribution of toxic chemicals into our food, water, and air. It shows that the so-called ‘Green Revolution’ was anything but and has in fact seeded a long-term health catastrophe for India that the government seems unwilling to confront. It is an important book about a neglected topic.
