Books
The world is in the midst of a storm. A storm that has shaped the history of modernity along a double fracture: on the one hand, an environmental fracture driven by a technocratic and capitalist civilisation that led to the ongoing devastation of the Earth's ecosystems and its human and non-human communities, and, on the other hand, a colonial fracture instilled by Western colonisation and imperialism that resulted in slavery and the domination of Indigenous peoples and women in particular. While these two sides are thought about separately, the tempest continues unabated. So far, environmental thought has maintained this divide, suggesting a Noah's ark that conceals social inequalities, gender discrimination and racism, and neglects demands for justice. In this book, Malcom Ferdinand challenges this double fracture, thinking from the Caribbean world.
