Description
Latinx Environmentalisms: Place, Justice, and the Decolonial explores how Latinx cultural texts integrate environmental concerns with questions of social and political justice. By examining film, visual art, literature, and other fields, this collection reveals a vibrant tradition of Latinx decolonial environmentalism. The editors and contributors draw on insights from environmental justice scholarship and critical race and ethnic studies to map the ways in which Latinx authors and cultural producers express environmental concerns in their work. Original interviews with creative writers and new essays by noted scholars shed light on the role of racial capitalism in shaping human relationships to the more-than-human world. This book accounts for the ways in which Latinx cultures are environmentally conscious, often without being recognized as such. By shedding light on this overlooked aspect of environmental thought, Latinx Environmentalisms offers a nuanced understanding of the complex relationships between culture, justice, and the natural world.
