Inhalt
U.S. environmental thought has long been characterized by a history of discriminatory, exclusionary, and elitist concepts. Its inception was marked by white male ideals about human engagement with nature at the expense of less privileged, marginalized population groups and their experiences with the environment. This tradition of capitalizing on a very particular, non-inclusive perspective led to racist notions being ingrained in the very essence of environmental thinking. In this course, we will address the following questions (among others). How are racism and environmentalism inherently connected? What are the cultural, socio-political roots and ramifications of this interlinkage? How does the legacy of racist environmental practices impact more recent ecological developments, such as the ever-escalating climate crisis? We will examine how African American, Latinx, and indigenous writers/activists from across the country have questioned the conventional, discriminatory maxims of U.S. environmental discourses and redefined American environmentalism as quintessentially intersectional.
