Unknown before the late 1990s, an epidemic of chronic kidney disease of non-traditional causes (CKDnt) has sickened and killed thousands of sugarcane plantation workers in Nicaragua. Nading situates this epidemic within a deeper history of sugarcane plantation violence, arguing that CKDnt is not a result of climate change, it is climate change.
