"Racial Ecologies is a needed intervention into environmental studies. . . . Essays in this volume highlight the legacies of colonialism and everyday consequences of capitalism on racialized bodies. . . . This collection is not just about framings and ontologies; it is also about politics and collective action. Social change comes from critical understandings. Essays incorporate environmental studies, environmental justice scholarship, and ethnic and Indigenous studies to understand the important problems facing us in our multiple experiences with the environment."
