Latinx Environmentalisms: Place, Justice, and the Decolonial - Sarah D. Wald

Descriere Latinx Environmentalisms: Place, Justice, and the Decolonial - Sarah D. Wald

\n \nThe whiteness of mainstream environmentalism often fails to account for the richness and variety of Latinx environmental thought. Building on insights of environmental justice scholarship as well as critical race and ethnic studies, the editors and contributors to Latinx Environmentalisms map the ways Latinx cultural texts integrate environmental concerns with questions of social and political justice. \n \nOriginal interviews with creative writers, including Cherr e Moraga, Helena Mar a Viramontes, and H ctor Tobar, as well as new essays by noted scholars of Latinx literature and culture, show how Latinx authors and cultural producers express environmental concerns in their work. These chapters, which focus on film, visual art, and literature-and engage in fields such as disability studies, animal studies, and queer studies-emphasize the role of racial capitalism in shaping human relationships to the more-than-human world and reveal a vibrant tradition of Latinx decolonial environmentalism.\n \nLatinx Environmentalisms accounts for the ways Latinx cultures are environmental, but often do not assume the mantle of environmentalism.\n
