The world is in the midst of a storm that has shaped the history of
modernity along a double fracture: on the one hand, an
environmental fracture driven by a technocratic and capitalist
civilization that led to the ongoing devastation of the Earth's
ecosystems and its human and non-human communities and, on the
other, a colonial fracture instilled by Western colonization and
imperialism that resulted in racial slavery and the domination of
indigenous peoples and women in particular. In this important new
book, Malcom Ferdinand challenges this double fracture, thinking
from the Caribbean world. Here, the slave ship reveals the
inequalities that continue during the storm: some are shackled
inside the hold and even thrown overboard at the first gusts of
wind. Drawing on empirical and theoretical work in the Caribbean,
Ferdinand conceptualizes a decolonial ecology that holds protecting
the environment together with the political struggles against
(post)colonial domination, structural racism, and misogynistic
practices. Facing the storm, this book is an invitation to build a
world-ship where humans and non-humans can live together on a
bridge of justice and shape a common world. It will be of great
interest to students and scholars in environmental humanities and
Latin American and Caribbean studies, as well as anyone interested
in ecology, slavery, and (de)colonization.
