| Sumario: | "'Latinx Environmentalisms' brings the environmental humanities into dialogue with Latinx literary and cultural studies. By considering how Latinx cultures are environmental but often refuse to identify as environmentalist, the volume explores the possibilities and challenges of Latinx environmental representations, especially how they broaden environmental justice to address decolonial frameworks"-- The 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. Original interviews with creative writers, including Cherríe Moraga, Helena María Viramontes, and Héctor 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. 'Latinx Environmentalisms' accounts for the ways Latinx cultures are environmental, but often do not assume the mantle of "environmentalism." |
