"In Island Futures Mimi Sheller delves into the ecological crises and reconstruction
challenges affecting the entire Caribbean region during a time of climate catastrophe.
Drawing on fieldwork on post-earthquake reconstruction in Haiti, flooding on the Haitian-Dominican
border, and recent hurricanes, Sheller shows how ecological vulnerability and the
quest for a "just recovery" in the Caribbean emerge from specific transnational political,
economic, and cultural dynamics. Because foreigners are largely ignorant of Haiti's
political, cultural, and economic contexts, especially the historical role of the
United States, their efforts to help often exacerbate inequities. Caribbean survival
under ever-worsening environmental and political conditions, Sheller contends, demands
radical alternatives to the pervasive neocolonialism, racial capitalism, and US military
domination that have perpetuated what she calls the "coloniality of climate." Sheller
insists that alternative projects for Haitian reconstruction, social justice, and
climate resilience-and the sustainability of the entire region-must be grounded in
radical Caribbean intellectual traditions that call for deeper transformations of
transnational economies, ecologies, and human relations writ large"
