Latinx Environmentalisms: Place, Justice, and the Decolonial
About the book
The whiteness of mainstream environmentalism often fails to account for the richness and variety of Latinx environmental thought. Building on insights of environmental justice scholarship as well as critical race and ethnic studies, the editors and contributors to Latinx Environmentalisms map the ways Latinx cultural texts integrate environmental concerns with questions of social and political justice. Original interviews with creative writers and new essays show how Latinx authors and cultural producers express environmental concerns in film, visual art, and literature, engaging fields such as disability studies, animal studies, and queer studies, and emphasizing the role of racial capitalism in shaping human relationships to the more-than-human world.
