From the Flint water crisis to the Dakota Access Pipeline
controversy, environmental threats and degradation
disproportionately affect communities of color, with often dire
consequences for people’s lives and health. Racial Ecologies
explores activist strategies and creative responses, such as those
of Mexican migrant women, New Zealand Maori, and African American
farmers in urban Detroit, demonstrating that people of color have
always been and continue to be leaders in the fight for a more
equitable and ecologically just world. Grounded in an
ethnic-studies perspective, this interdisciplinary collection
illustrates how race intersects with Indigeneity, colonialism,
gender, nationality, and class to shape our understanding of both
nature and environmental harm, showing how and why environmental
issues are also racial issues. Indeed, Indigenous, critical race,
and postcolonial frameworks are crucial for comprehending and
addressing accelerating anthropogenic change, from the local to the
global, and for imagining speculative futures. This
forward-looking, critical intervention bridges environmental
scholarship and ethnic studies and will prove indispensable to
activists, scholars, and students alike.
