解説
A critical examination of the environmental movement and the Latinx voices that are shifting how to think about a future shaped by climate change.
In Decolonial Environmentalisms, David VAzquez argues that the mainstream environmental movement is implicated in racial capitalism, not least through its ignorance of environmental justice as it pertains to Latinx people. Through close readings of eco-minded novels, films, visual art, and short stories by Chicanx, Puerto Rican, Dominican, Cuban American, Peruvian, and Central American culture makers, VAzquez surfaces diverse Latinx visions for an equitable and sustainable humanity.
In the creations of Helena MarIa Viramontes, Ester HernAndez, Salvador Plascencia, the printmaking collective Dominican York Proyecto GRAFICA, and others, VAzquez locates a bracing critique of racist elisions and assumptions in hegemonic environmentalist thought. At the same time, he shows that the roles of Latinx people in the exploitation of the US West and the ruin of Indigenous communities are ripe for self-examination, in hopes of sparking reform. Indeed, Decolonial Environmentalisms is a work of guarded optimism, finding glimmers of possibility even in dystopic science fiction. The overlooked experiences of Latinx people, VAzquez suggests, can inspire environmental movements capable of transformative advocacy.
