This volume explores a range of themes including impacts of climate
change, resilience, sustainability, indigeneity, cultural genocide,
disaster capitalism, preservation of biodiversity, and
environmental degradation. Focusing on the island of Barbuda in the
West Indies, it shares critical insights into how climate change is
reshaping our world. The book examines how climate has changed in
the Caribbean over different spatial and temporal scales and how
varying natural and anthropogenic factors have shaped Barbuda's
climatic and cultural history. It highlights projections of
21st-century climate change for the Caribbean region and its likely
impacts on Barbuda's coastal ecosystems, potable groundwater
resources, and heritage. With essays by researchers from the United
States, Canada, Caribbean, and Europe, this volume straddles a
range of disciplines such as archaeology, anthropology,
paleoclimatology, environmental sciences, science education, and
Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK). Drawing on
interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary approaches that explore the
intersection of natural and social systems over the longue duree,
the volume will be of interest to scholars, researchers, and
students of ethnography, social anthropology, climate action,
development studies, public policy, and climate change.
