Description
The world is facing a storm that has shaped the history of modernity, driven by two fractures: environmental degradation and colonialism. In this book, Malcom Ferdinand challenges these fractures, drawing on Caribbean perspectives to conceptualize a decolonial ecology that protects the environment and addresses political struggles against colonial domination and social injustices. Ferdinand's work brings together empirical and theoretical approaches to explore the inequalities that persist in the face of environmental devastation. This book is an invitation to build a more just world, where humans and non-human communities can coexist. It will be of interest to scholars and students in environmental humanities, Latin American and Caribbean studies, and anyone interested in ecology, slavery, and decolonization. By examining the intersections of environmental degradation and colonialism, this book offers a new perspective on the challenges we face today.
