This book addresses the industrial crises, environmental issues, and local attitudes toward energy transitions through case studies in Sardinia and San Pietro. By approaching European transitional politics from an ethnographic perspective, this study focuses on the practices, frameworks and alternative strategies of those who resist the EU Green Deal.
Approaching European transitional politics from an ethnographic perspective, The Give and Take of Wind focuses on the practices, frameworks and alternative strategies of those who resist the EU Green Deal. The book examines identity constructs related to territorial sovereignty, public participation and the (consequent) redefinition of the political sphere. By examining Sardinia and the meta-island San Pietro, this book analyses if energy transitions represent a horizon of possible change for communities or whether it is experienced as the imposition of development models. The political and identity-driven nature of such opposition challenges anthropology and other social sciences to elucidate a phenomenon that affects Europe and beyond.

Elena Apostoli Cappello is Researcher at the Laboratory of Architecture and Human Sciences (SASHA) at the Université Libre de Bruxelles. She has published widely on subjectification processes, activism, public participation and citizenship.
