Between ecology and the stakes of past and present racial dominations.

The world is in the midst of a ecological storm that has shaped the history of modernity along a twin faultlines. On the one hand, there is the environmental fracturing driven by a technocratic, capitalist civilization, which has led to ongoing devastation of the Earth’s ecosystems and its communities, human and non-human alike. On the other, there is the colonial rift instilled by Western colonization and imperialism that resulted in race-based slavery, especially the domination of women and indigenous peoples. Malcom Ferdinand challenges these twin faultlines from the perspective of the Caribbean world.
