"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"--Publisher's website
